I still love love

I still love love

I’ve always loved love

I’ve always felt love in the little things

I’ve felt love in gratitude

I’ve felt love in nature

I’ve seen love and loving kindness

In the people I love(d)

In the people who love(d) me

Love is a beautiful thing

Love is a scary thing

Love can be painful

Because love is vulnerable

And vulnerability takes courage

It takes courage to look yourself in the mirror

And see what you can give

And See what you have to learn

We weren’t born, knowing how to love

We have to learn how to love

To learn how we can be loved in the way we deserve

To learn and understand what is NOT love

With time we realize we have to UNLEARN

Harmful ways we were taught how to love

Destructive definitions of love

Love in its truest form is safe

Safe to be in

Safe to express

Safe to give

Love in its truest form is a verb

Learn how to love

Give love

Receive love

Love in its truest form is scary

Sharing your vulnerable heart,

Risk of rejection or losing someone,

Trusting someone with your heart, is scary.

Love in its truest form is always worth it

Because you put yourself out there

You in your truest, authentic expression

With the intention to love

And share that love

Love in its truest form is always there

Everywhere
