Loving someone
is so easy..
at least
when love for them
is all you feel.
Except..
when is that
ever true in life,
my dear?
So often,
those we love
the most..
are also those
who bruise
our ego worst.

Is it so easy
to still love them
through the jealousy
and fear?
When they are
far away from you
instead of near?
When they present
their weaker side
upon a rainy day?
When it no longer
seems that they are
quite The One
for whom
you always prayed?

So often
truest love
demands
precisely that..
which many of us
have become
incapable of doing
nowadays..
holding the space
within your heart
for them alone
with utmost faith.

I still believe.
I’ll keep on fighting..
For as long as you
still wish for me to stay.
I shall not stray again..
unless you are The One
who pushes me away.
