There is the love that two people do their growing up with, but do not grow forward together. There is the love that was once your pillar, but then teaches you to stand tall on your own. There is the love that one seeks with good intention, but oftentimes lands in the wrong place. There is the love that is born of desire, but decidedly leaves when the passion ends. There is the love that is revisited by two people, but is only a misguided second chance. And then, there is the love that is left behind by circumstance, and only time and timing shall intervene.
Among all the wonderful – and wonderfully flawed – loves, I still say there is no perfect love. There is only great love...the kind of love that nurtures your spirit and thrills your soul. The love that unburdens your heart and unlocks it for all seasons of giving. It is the love that inspires you to want to be a better person but doesn’t ask for more than you are. It is the love that makes you feel you are everything to one person, and yet, without your beloved, everything feels meaningless. It is the love that whispers sweet prayers in your heart and speaks to you across distant moons. It is the love that binds you to another in this precious life and everyday thereafter.
