So what is true love?
i ask myself that a lot
i know what it's not
it's not sex
anyone can do that
for selfishness or even
selflessness in a fit of
giving too much
it's not physical allure
the " prettiest" can spend hours
in front of a mirror
putting on a mask
a veneer
that hides their
real self
it's not a fake connection
where people
fabricate common ground
it's not a morphing into
who you think they want
it's not flashy
it's not fake
oh, no...
it's much deeper
it's a safe place
where you can be
your authentic self
no labels
no expectations
calm
covenantal
peace
patience
understanding
acceptance
a meeting of minds
a synchronicity of souls
two hearts harnessed
into one beat
not of this world
a place where you can finish
the other's sentences
a realm that only you
can go to
most people wait a lifetime
for a lifetime like that
some grab the ring
some watch it in the rearview
but the truth of
the matter remains
God never makes mistakes
with true love.
Amen.

βLove suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.β
