I want to love you with my heart

I don’t want to be afraid of love

There is nothing to fear

You are never wrong for giving your heart to love

Don’t buy into that craziness

Love is worth the risk

What you get from loving is far more

Than anything you lose from loving the wrong person

You still felt love

You still knew love intimately from the inside out

The people who enter our lives

Are reflections of love the way we are

Understanding it and expressing from the depths of our souls

We hurt not because of love, but because

We don’t honor the love within us

And then we allow the other person to dishonor it as well

The truly beautiful and amazing thing is

the love is still pure as ever before

Hearts don’t break

The illusions that cloud the essence of love

Begin to shutter under the weight of false truths

There is pain

But it passes

and love remains…
