In The Name Of Love

The beauty of love
lies on its very existence.
It needs not be complicated
to be felt and appreciated.
It simply IS.

Love should be cherished
for it to flourish.
Love blossoms
if we nurture it.
But we cannot force it
to be what we want
or desire it to be.
We just let it be!

When we love
we offer our true selves
devoid of all pretensions and sophistications
To love is to selflessly
and freely act
weighing neither rewards nor consequences.

Love must be forever free.
We set it free
and in the process we liberate ourselves.
We cannot even hope
that it will return to us
if it is not truly meant for us.

If there is one thing certain,
it is that we were meant to love
to return to it many times over
even in the midst
of seeming futility and despair.
Love is freedom.
We simply must love
and leave the rest to destiny.

Love holds no guarantee
that it will be
with us for eternity.
It withers
just like everything else.
But when we learn
to let it be …
its meaning and its power
remains embossed on our heart and soul.
Love never truly leaves us.
For we become part of its memory
as it becomes part of ours..
