True love sneaks up on you.
It’s unpredictable in its ways
allowing your heart to be the change.
We associate love as a high.
But love is only realized
together in the darkest of nights.
When looking in your eyes,
I’m free to see the truth inside.
Once we build the courage
to break down walls of armor,
we use faith as our only means of belief.
You can give love all you want.
But what good will that be
without having a willingness to be seen?
Only love’s absence ever hurt you.
We’re taught to feel this emptiness as real.
What if you’re heart had to break
so you could understand how to heal?
I too wonder if it’s worth it
to accept the risks of vulnerability.
But the dangers comfort brings
hurt more than not exploring love’s call.
Two must always choose
to wish together for a miracle.
We’ve allowed our hearts to bleed
long enough to have strength to receive.
Let the warrior set down their sword.
An unknown encompasses the horizon.
Together, walking towards a beautiful mystery.
Whether solo or in union,
finding my whole heart in reverent devotion.
Dropping expectations for love
and accepting this uncontrollable force.
In choosing to love you
I learn to love myself too.
Finding assurance within,
I extend my hand to finally let go.
Meet me at sundown,
on the edge of Lover’s Creek.
Together we can remember
what it means to set our hearts free.
Fate will have its way,
when we surrender to know
it’s okay for us to be seen.
Intertwined intimacy
unlocking the light of timeless moments.
Allowing truth to be discovered
through a new story of you and me.
