Love is not

Love is not my solo trip to the North

It's certainly not, without your help

It's not about what you can give me dear 

But what do you happily give to yourself?

 

Love is not in my nods for your words

And certainly not, in a constant neutrality 

It's the courage to stay real and true

Being one with the stars and bound in gravity 

 

Love is not in my pity for your tears

And certainly not in my eyes, when you lie

It's the peace that exists, despite a conflict 

And a life, without the burden to justify.
