Hate.
A feeling i lived off of.
Something i had for a drug addict mother.
An abusive father.

Honesty.
Something i lacked.
Knew it would never matter because i would always be lied to.

Trust.
Something i lost, since my parents turned on me.

Love.
An unbreakable feeling.
A feeling of peace.
A feeling of knowing that where you are currently,
is where you always want to be.
And it's where I'm at.
I'm in love with a girl.
Someone i know will never desert me....
Will never hurt me...
And that no matter what will always be by my side.
Someone i would willingly give up if it meant her happiness.

Love is the strongest feeling...And because of it I'm still here today...
If it weren't for the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
I to this day wouldn't exist and be the strong willed person I am.
Without it.
I would have never met her.
The feeling of Love is something we must NEVER forget.
It will always lead you down the right path.
Do you love?

I've given up on love I fear, or has love given up on me?
