SEARCHING Today I am searching deep within myself For an answer to what‘s weighing on my heart, Questioning what actually constitutes real love; Where does it end?….and where does it start? Is it a feeling? Or does it come from the sharing Of two souls as one? Their feelings intertwined As though they were united in a tapestry with No ending, woven together, body soul and mind? Must loving someone mean to give of ourself Without asking for something in return? Or does the faithfulness and loyalty involved Become a token that needs to be earned. Can love be pure and innocent, a closeness That only two people alone can share? Transcending the emotional and physical need To the heights of deep and genuine care? Does loving involve no longer being your own, No matter the circumstances that may follow? Does love have to be selfish and destructive, Destroying others along the way, somehow? These thoughts tend only to confuse my mind, For to me love has always been gentle and sweet, Then enters times of inflicted hurt and pain and Thus initiates the times of lonely and bitter retreat. I struggle with all these definitions of love, Becoming more aware and wiser, it seems; My love will be only for that special one that Will understand me.. my hopes and my dreams. *Twilah*
