Dear Love...

Dear Love,
Nice to meet you,
I’m glad you came,
The past was just a perversion of you,
The twisted version caused me to curse your name.
But now you’re here,
So safe and so new, nothing like the past,
Now I say your name and smile,
Thankful to meet you at last.
Sweet, sweet love, I thank you,
You’ve opened my three eyes,
Granted me with right vision as clear as the blue skies.
Dear Love, I welcome you
For I am no longer afraid,
Vulnerability was a formidable enemy,
Always standing in my way.
Beautiful love, with you my ego can rest,
My defenses can come down,
To get me past this test.
Real love... you’ve shown me that I don’t have to hide,
With you, I know that it’s safe not to lead with my pride.
Dear Love, I’m glad to no longer fear you,
Or be pessimistic and shut away,
Rather, I’m greatly humbled by you,
Because I never thought that I’d see this day.
Priceless Love, worth the world yet still it’s free,
Powerful enough to change the world as we know it,
Starting with me.
