a choice







to love is a choice
to love is a choice
to love is a choice

i find it around the corners of buildings,
i find it buried in the dirt,
i find it in accepting them as they are 
and not living in the memories of who they once were.

i find it in needless tears and torn hearts,
i find it in weak hands and the choice not to speak,
i find it in broken guitar strings and low voices,
and

i find it in allowance.

the allowance of letting love flow not only through me,
but through the things i love.
the allowance of being selfless.

the allowance of the things i can control.

because sunlight is a soft and warm love,
and moonlight loves to light up the shadows.
the wind comes to give lovely hugs,
and you love me.

but i cannot control those.

i can make the choice to love you
even when it brings me nothing.
selfless love.

to love is a choice.
so make it count.

    1. truth is deep. have you ever noticed that? some people run from deepness. they do not like the ocean because it is so scary and big and deep. they do not like what is revealed. so deep is good. it is good. God is good. ♥ thanks, Lauren. *grins*
