What It Takes

The steps to love,
now what does it take?
There must be a move
and there will be mistakes.
Destined to find your only one
nowhere to hide,
nowhere to run.

Must find the strength
deep from within
it's hidden with care
deep, from the sins.

Those three little words
once meant so much
they now bring hurt,
with no soothing touch.

The steps to love,
now what does it take?
it must be a lot,
it might make you break...

Love, best friend or worst enemy...depending on how you treat it and how it treats you. This was deep stuff. Nicely done & nice to meet you!
