Dear Shane,
To Love someone you haven’t met in the person says a lot and almost nothing at all. I have never known Love and still don’t think it has made itself familiar with me. Yet, you seem to know exactly what you want…and me I can’t fade it. I’m still learning trying to get it right so I still have my share of mistakes to make at Love’s expense. Maybe, the years have been unkind to us both when it comes to Love showing us the kinder side of her, but nothing can be gained if we don’t open our eyes and our hearts to what’s right in front of us. Leaving the past behind to welcome something better and possibly even more beautiful than the experiences of our past.
Is it because of past lives we fear that Love can only being us pain? So, we no longer know the joy it can bring. The sun rises when the moon sets and yet…we still can’t produce the amount of strength to go a day without love ruining us…why do those of a less faith in love seem to trust no one but themselves? Because they believe that trusting themselves will leave them less vulnerable to Love’s pain. While those who hold on to Hope believe in Soul mates, Monogamy, and Loyalty…and swear by Love’s hand that there’s someone out there for everyone.
For us to find each other was not written among the stars. Unsure of what the future has in store believing that our present actions predict our future there for we never had one. Yet were here hand and hand together making it work…or at least trying to. There’s no harm in that-hopefully something good will come of it. In order for that to happen you must be all in and take a chance on Love and maybe even risk it all.
If your words were my own…I’d write the most beautiful stanzas just so you’d know how much I truly cared. Though I may not be in love with you I love you as a person and everything that God has made you to me you are prefect…sometimes (lol). You were right I am confused but that’s mainly because my experiences differ from your and I believe age does play a factor, but when in Love age is nothing but a number so it’s in Love I trust (lol).
Truly,
Shileta (SLG)
