The journey of a love

On the journey of this love,

so deep and sometimes

confused misunderstood

that I still live and have chosen.

I discovered that love is built.

Day after day, week after week,

month after month and year after year.

On the journey of this love

I discovered that love both heals

as it hurts.

That it is sweet

but sometimes bitter.

On the journey of this love

I discovered that loving

goes beyond anything.

To love is to accept the other beyond their own limitations.

Beyond differences,

without expecting or wanting the other person to be like you.

Love is like seeing a rainbow in the sky,

after the rain.

To love is to respect.

Love is compassion,

for yourself and for others.

To love yourself.

To love is to listen

Love is unconditional

To love is to feel

To love is to always be there

Just as you are for me

And on the journey of this love,

I still want you

I want to love you for a lifetime

For a lifetime.
