Love so True

When I was young, I thought I found love. Made the commitment and stayed the course for decades while I discovered that love wasn’t what I thought it was.

Only after I met you did I realize what true love is. I’ve tasted true love, at least it seemed to be so to me. It consumes my heart each day like a hot eternal flame. It wakes me from my slumber and refuses to let me rest. It demands to be expressed and give you all the happiness that I can give. Love teaches patience, even to one who never had it, and I feel as if I’ll wait for you till time itself ends.

What I would give to know what thoughts you have for the silence is agony. I gave my love to you for I thought I had found true love. Yet the knowledge that I gave you my heart fully is enough for now. I wonder how many settle for less than true love, how many find it for a moment, and if any find it and never let it go?

I thought I had found a deeply warm and honest love. I was wrong. For as much as that love kept me awake thinking about all the good in my life and how it fed my soul...the realization that is was all nothing and I was a fool, also keeps me awake nights but now eating at my soul. It makes me wish I had never known what that could feel like. I know what is missing now. It's not an easy thing to handle. I hope you are well, my friend.
