Love is
something that\'s hard to define
its complicated
means different things to
different people involved
but you know it
when you find it
or it finds you.
It\'s a happy little accident
that you don\'t ask for
but sort of stumble upon
on the off chance
like finding a five dollar bill
in a grocery parking lot
a piece of candy in your pocket
or a penny in the middle of
a busy street,
you wonder where it came from
who put it there
and how it happened.
often times its hidden in plain sight
like most beautiful things in this world are.
There\'s a chance to fall for it,
be swept up and mesmerized
but its only available for a second
then disappearing into thin air
like a mirage,
a whiff of a strangers perfume in a crowd.
ignored by most
recognized by a few,
only the lovers see it
taking the time to let things develop, sacrificing themselves
going through hell and back
to win each others hearts
only to realize that
there are no winners in this game
only equals.
They stand together
ready but scared
staying in place
like glass figurines,
fragile from too many heartbreaks, let downs, one night stands,
neither sure if they have enough love
left to give.
But they\'ll find a way
knowing that if they pool their love together
it will be enough to last for centuries
conquer any will, want, or desire.
there will be so much love
that it will reach the hearts of every
man, woman, child in the world
going anywhere and through anything
permeating even the most
jaded hearts.
