Love is liberating

To say you love someone isn't enough

Anyone can tell you they love you

But to love someone who cares

For you regardless

Of your imperfections

Is not a selfish act



When it comes from their heart

And they mean every word they say

Is meaningful



The most painful experience

About loving someone

Is to admit your hurting

And the only way to heal the hurt inside

Is to forgive, unclip its wings and fly



I am grateful to have been touched by love

To feel loved by someone close

To share love in my life with family

To experience what love meant as friends

Because I found that love is liberating

And being thankful to have loved within
