~~~*~~~
You told me you loved me
Unconditionally
But I couldn't see it
~~~*~~~
I knew that you loved me
I could feel it
But was it the kind of love
That I was looking for
~~~*~~~
Of that I was unsure
I took time to reflect
I turned your words over
In my head
Again and Again
~~~*~~~
I could see the respect
In all that you said
Then one day,
out of the blue
~~~*~~~
I came to realize
What I was feeling
Was not what you had meant
~~~*~~~
For the hurt in my heart
That someone else left
Had colored my reality with you
~~~*~~~
On that day
I awakened
From Darkness to Light
with a new kind of joy
~~~*~~~
It was then,
Suddenly
That I saw my own reflection
~~~*~~~
It was I
who had unknowingly
Placed conditions on our love
~~~*~~~
When I saw my mistake
The veil lifted from my eyes
I could then see
With clarity
~~~*~~~
How much you truly love me
Without strings
or
limitations
Absolute
Unconditionally
~~~*~~~

Hi Benita,

I really like your poem. I wrote a poem called Unconditional Love last year, but it was about a special dog's unconditonal love for me.

Yes as they say sometimes we are jaded from our past experiences and foolishly carry this to our new relationships...James
