How I found Love

I found love three years ago, held on to it even though it never felt quite right.
Love was tall, dark and handsome. Attractive to the eye and mind boggling to the mind.
Love picked my brain and made me think. Made me question some things, but taught me to stand up for what I believed in.
I didn’t trust love, so I kept love at a distance and observed its behavior.
Love was far from me, oceans apart and I wanted to spare myself the emotional attachment.
I kept love close through social networks and it ended up closer than the person seated next to me.
Love was patient, love was kind.
Love would check on me, love would understand me.
Love would take my opinions amidst the presence off stubbornness.
Love was affectionate, love was considerate. I liked love and even though I had promised myself not to fall in love with love, I did.
I fell In love with who love was, and ignored love’s faults and errs.
I grew fond of love and looked past my doubts and insecurities.
Love made me question God’s will, love made me plead for love
Love made me believe that it might be the one.
You see love respected me, love treated me well, love listened to me and love showed me love.
But it couldn’t have all been rosy, because love would upset me and take me for granted,
Love’s eyes would wander and blame it on nature,
Love would hide things and call it protecting,
Love would disrespect my God and call it culture,
And still, I loved love.
I gave love a chance, over and over again.
Love’s words would hurt me and make me wonder about the future.
It would make me wonder where I stood with it.
Love would return home, and I would be there…
Patiently waiting and feeling quite anxious about all the changes that the passage of time would bring, love would still be the same.
Love would smile at me and embrace me.
Love would make me feel safe and it’s warmth would erase any fault that ever existed.
Love was warm, love felt good.
Love genuinely loved me and displayed it more than it said it.
I could deal with that!
But I yearned to have love closer to me,
I yearned to be a part of Love’s life.
I showed love my love,
I’d check on love and try my best to show it I cared.
I told love how something’s made me feel,
I told love how something’s hurt me,
But love never cared and called me emotional.
Love never wanted to see where I was coming from.
Love made things about it and never stopped to think that I was only upset because I loved it.
I would love to say love was no more,
But the love never stopped.
The communication did.
For the first time in forever, I didn’t know how to live without love.
Every second thought was about love.
Flashbacks would seize me and I didn’t know how to make it stop.
A week would seem an hour, time was just not moving.
How do I unlove love?
True Love taught me to stand on my knees before I could make it on my feet.
True Love kept me sane and helped me through the coming months.
True Love taught me to depend on it and far lesson people.
A few month’s later and I don’t know how I made it through.
God’s love is real and far perfect than that which we get from fellow human beings.
I’m wiser now and waiting on a love that will replicate that which God has for me.
Thank God for His love.
