LOVE PRAISE
Something so pure and gentle
An overwhelming feeling
Mind-blowing triumph
Disturbing as it maybe
It gives hope to live again
It is the beginning of a new chapter
The partnership with another soul
It feels so unreal at first
Such a deep connection with the unknown
You remember, your parents said there is no love out there
Then immediately you shut the doors
I wish they told me something different “there is love”
I would have kept you around
Yes, I kept you in my heart
I kept you in my mind
Your soul never left
I crushed you
I betrayed you
I discarded you
I did not know how to love
You introduced something foreign to me
I came to learn that love never leaves
I will keep trying until my last breath
