Dear Love,
Love so many times I’ve tried to define you
For myself compromised you
But I’ve been blind too.
Oh love I’ve tried to forsake you
Wanted to hate you
Because I needed a breakthrough
But love and faith too save you
Shape you
Indescribably make you
What can I say about love?
How it surprises us defines us reminds us that we are human
Beings, cheating greedy
Backstabbing, misleading
Tricked into believe we don’t deserve you
Because we’ve become so complicated, educated, violated…
And just to played with
That we actually believe we can live without you
Because when they abuse, confuse and try to misuse
The love that God had given us
We try to readjust but it’s broken us
Robbed us of love
Stealing from God!
Love
I’ve thought it so much that it’s the very object of my obsession
Its essence my most prized possession
Without exception
I’ve cried about it
Lied about it
Almost died without it
But he said you must protect it
Accept it
Try your best not to rejected it
Embrace it
Face it
Don’t try to restrain it or claim it.
Cuz the world would try to break it
Take it
Destroy it and replace it
But how?
When it surrounds us
Abounds us
And most times confounds us so deeply that
We write songs about it
Go on and on about it
Don’t where we belong without it
It’s absence lives a pain in your chest
I think Roberta Flack said it best,
“The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes”
It’s odd
Or was she talking about God?
Cuz my love is an ancient love
It’s a naked love
My love is a raw love
Never saw love, love like this before
You can feel it
Even though they’d try to steal it
But I can’t be brought and
It can’t be sold
No I can’t be brought
And I won’t be sold
Because that’s how it’s supposed to be
You gotta give your best to me.
