Who am I?
What am I worth?
Anything at all?
Because what I see
and what I hear
in the silence
is this...
“You were once someone special
In the moment, and at that time
Like a vacation on the beach
Beautiful in its moment, but temporary”
Why must love come so full force
and then move past and keep going
Why does it not want to stop here and live
Why does it not stay?
When I looked at you
When I loved you
My heart was imprinted with permanence
So that I am still looking at you
I am still loving you.
I am still, still... even still.
It does not deflate like a balloon
it does not wither like a dying flower
It does not fade like the light in the evening
and it does not flee like low tide
For my love is always high tide
Increasing in depth and fullness and strength;
And it does not know if it’s equally reciprocated
Regardless, it keeps growing.
I have learned the definition of true love.
I give for the simple reason of giving.
I may not merit reciprocation. That is not the point.
You may not merit my undying devotion. That is not the point.
The point is that I am devoted. unconditionally.
And I pray if I show this love, that is a quality of God above,
then he will make me okay.
Even if it means standing alone in love.
