For Love Is All Who I Am

 

I loved you deeply as i know how. 

Never once did i regret it, not even for a fleeting moment. 

Because love, freely given, is never a loss. 

It leaves fingerprints on the soul - not scars. 

Every kindness, every embrace, 

Every piece of my heart i placed in yours.....

None of them were wasted. 

Love has a way of returning - may not be through the same door. 

But it returns. 

In another embrace. In another friendship. 

In another season of life or simply in the quiet place. 

Of knowing that i remained true to myself. 

With or without you. 

My heart, never empty because love was never something i possessed. 

Love is something i am. 

It flows through me as it's me, my nature. 

I have always left without bitterness. 

Without wishing i loved you less. 

For if i had, i would have become less of myself. 

And that would have been the only true loss.
