on love and caring.
We all thrive on love,
through all the phases of it,
the highs and the lows.
Sometimes we need to give space,
and time to each other,
to work through inner struggles,
that can only be faced alone.
At these times,
I believe love is reflected,
in our responses.
To truly love,
to me is to let go,
in the sense of acceptance,
but staying close in spirit
to be the haven of safety,
when needed,
to be returned to,
when the need is there,
whether as the comfort of a silent oasis,
the loving, warmth of your arms,
or the gentle presence in their lives,
that speaks of love unconditional,
and the knowledge,
they are never alone.
I believe this is the faithfulness
of true love or caring for another,
when their needs are placed,
before your own,
showing the true strength,
of that love.
