Its Still Love

Some things you don't
have control over...

A loved one passing away.

A loved one walking away.

Some things you do
have control over...

Missing that loved one
that is not near.

Crying or not.

Grieving.

Acceptance.

Holding on
or letting go.

Moving on.

Even though
love comes
and love goes...
its still love.

I think we rely too heavily on the word and not enough time making it work.

You have two choices in life:
You can stay single and be miserable,
or get married and wish you were dead.

so true, it is indeed still love or the longing to be loved - well said!

Love is the life of the soul...
It is the harmony of the universe

Yes, you are so right, dear James. I enjoy your thought process here. The essence of love cannot be destroyed, it continues to exist forever.

It is still love ... most precious!

But it sure takes time to get to the point where you feel you've any control... and that's when healing starts. *S* Excellent write with much to ponder! *S*
