Vast is the sea of fish
of high and low quality
distributed evenly
some easy to catch
some not
some thrown back
some not
Some worthy of use
some not.
So many different types
and complex interactions.
Vast is the sea of fish.
Love will find me,
Dress me warmly,
Weather me gently,
and cast me aside.
Real love is the freedom to be yourself,
not someone saying "I love you,"
because if they desire you to change,
its not you they love, but an idea,
or its control they love, or something else,
not someone, and its certainly not you they love.
Real love is tolerance, forgiveness, respect,
not revenge, spitefulness, and silent treatments.
Derogatory words are not love, but hate,
and if only I realized this sooner than later,
there is only one way to forgive acts of hate,
and that is by walking away; there is no other way
because real love, is real happiness, and hate,
and its acts thereof, are not happy nor joyous, or love.
Real love is not always romantic
Or grandiose, but it is always generous
and kind, a warm hug, a special look,
a gesture never to be returned, its genuine-
something you can only regret letting go.
Real love is the people that surprise you,
that stand by your side not matter what,
no matter the bad decisions you make,
because you made just as many good ones,
and they see value in you, when you don't;
they are real love,
and you should return this love in kind.
At every turn,
I turn around,
And around again,
Reaching, never touching,
always chasing,
never seeing,
the piece of me,
that keeps moving
beyond my grasp
only mere inches
just mere inches
so close, but so away from me.
