A Conversation with Love

Love came one day, and knocked at my door
She was not familiar to me, because I never saw her before
“What is it that you want”, I rudely asked
She said, “I am here to see you, will you please let me pass?”
Though I was a little bit hesitant, I let her in
Because I did not want to leave her, outside waiting

“Why do you want to see me? Have I done anything wrong?”
Love replied with a smile, and said that she wont stay that long
“I went here because I was told, that you have lost faith in me.”
“I wanted to know if it was true, because you are making me feel guilty.”
I did not know what to tell her, but what she heard was true
So I said “I lost faith Love, since I was left by you.”

Then the words began to pour, as Love stood there and listened
I said, and quite harshly,“Love, I was never your friend.”
“You would come into my life, promising eternity.”
“Only for me to find out later on, that your stay was temporary”
“I gave you my life, in exchange you gave me a broken heart.”
“You have no idea just how much, you tore my life apart”

“You deceived me into believing, that by my side you will stay”
“But you knew from the very beginning, that you will have to go away”
“You left with no explanation, no goodbyes whatsoever.”
“All you said was that you’re sorry, was that supposed to make things better?”
“I never understood why you had, to go far and leave me.”
“And how you can manage to stare, at me and my misery.”

“But despite of the hurt, you never heard me complain.”
“When you came back I embraced you, forgetting all of my pain.”
“Your happiness was my concern, your hurt was my hurt.”
“Yet you treated me far worse, worse than how a man treats a dirt.”
“For the second time you left, refusing to explain why.”
“Leaving me with nothing but tears, tears that wont dry.”

I had so much more to say, so many things on my mind
But suddenly I was lost, words were at that point hard to find
So I stopped and stared at Love, and she stared back at me
I noticed that she was crying, and that made me feel a little guilty
I told her that I was sorry, but that was what I truly feel
She said that it was alright, and that there is nothing wrong with being real.

She said, “I can understand why you are angry, believe me I do.”
“But I think you got it all wrong, the concept of me and you.”
“You see me as a need instead of seeing me as a gift.”
“I am a feeling that is worthless, unless you learn to give it.”
“And by giving you must remember, not to expect something in return.”
“You love to love and for no other purpose, that was how humanity was born”

“You said that I left you, causing you nothing but pain.”
“But once I come into your heart, in there I’ll always remain.”
“You associate with me with the person, that you felt I was in.”
“But that is where you’re mistaken, because I am more than that feeling.”
“ I have been here long before, you learned to gaze at the stars.”
“Even before man used me as a reason, to provoke and start wars.”

“I am Love but I never promised, that I am alone when I come to you.”
“Sometimes I also bring with me pain, and other feelings too.”
“Never think that with my presence, life would be a fairy tale.”
“If you think and desire life to be like that, you are sure to fail.”
“What I promise is this, and please listen carefully.”
“With me life will still have pain, but it will be a wonderful journey.”

“You are lucky because you know me, other people don’t.”
“Others see me as nothing more, than an entertainment of some sort.”
“That’s why they live their lives, not knowing the rapture that I bring.”
“You are one of those few, who have experienced that feeling.”
“Never tire and be patient, because I am just around the corner.”
“One day you will see me and I will see you, and that would mean forever.”

I was speechless with what Love said, and I felt ashamed
She was right and I was wrong, Love is not to be blamed
Before I could even say something, before I could speak
She held my hand and said goodbye, leaving me silent and weak
Now I know a valuable lesson, and this I want to share
To those who think that they have lost love, remember that love is everywhere.

Love lives in your heart, and it exists in your mind
It can feel and is sensitive, though others say it is blind
Patience is the one virtue, that we all have to learn
If we wait and retain our longing, love is sure to return
