True Love



True love fears nothing
it does anything for you
it loves you enough
to become you in darkness
to bear your darkness.

True love forgets itself
it will not abandon you
it cares for you enough
to take your pain as its own
to keep you safe.

True love gives up anything for you
it will abandon its treasures
it will leave its own kind
to be with you
to become one of you.

True love fights for you
it stand by you forever
it dissolves into you
to stay with you in this world
to stay with you in other worlds
