True love, a poem by me…..
True love is caring for somebody through the sunny days, through the clouds and the rain,
Through the joy, the highs and lows, the good and bad times, most importantly it involves being there for another through their anguish and their pain,
True love involves being there when others need us the most,
Not just like a parasite which feeds off its host,
It involves loyalty and compassion, true love has traction,
Not just the glitter and the fashion, true love involves more than words, it involves action and reaction,
Never faking it just to muddle through,
Going the distance and being true blue,
Loving somebody and not just their physical presence,
It’s more akin to embracing their imperfection, their soul, their inner essence,
Standing by another in their time of need, accepting all the ugliness, living beyond the material world and its vapidity and greed,
For it is the imperfect and enduring heart which often bleeds,
True love involves almost everything which makes us human and caring,
Emotion, imagination, creativity and passion, all blending, this kind of love requires sharing, being able to help prevent another heart from tearing,
Looking into another’s eyes, recognizing their painful sighs,
Understanding why, reaching beyond the lies, taking off our masks and one’s disguise,
Sharing the time together regarding the stuff which really matters,
Things which stirs each others soul and which makes each other’s heart go pitter patter,
We should never chase love based upon what appeals to just our eyes, that kind of love often dies,
For true love chases the heart and makes us more wise,
For always being there and wiping away another’s tears and pain,
This is what true love really is, something which sustains, it never wanes,
True love is something most are unable to recognize or give,
Most of us are content to just exist rather than live,
Always love from the heart, go the distance, it’s worth it in the end,
Go beyond the games of pretend, take the time to bend and lend, to be a lover and more importantly a best friend,
True love often takes time to grow, it navigates beyond the test of time,
It becomes eternal, an enduring and beautiful rhyme, most of all true love involves just being kind….
