Love is responsible for almost everything we do, say, and hear.

Image via Wikipedia

I, the undersigned,

have a few confessions

to make.

Ever wondered what pushed you

to forgive your best friend

who had betrayed you?

That was me.

Have you asked why you never get tired

of understanding and forgiving

your wayward son?

It is because of me.

Know what’s empowering your heart

to trust and believe over and over again

despite those paralyzing doubts?

Naturally, it’s me.

Wondering what made you

hand out your last dollar in your pocket

to that old beggar across the street?

Again, it’s me.

It’s me who keeps your heart beating

for that person lying beside you,

no matter what – whoever and whatever

he or she may be.

It’s me who fuels the passion

that’s fervently burning inside you,

driving you to give your best

to your family and friends.

For all those smiles,

For all those tears,

For all those dreams,

For all those joys -

It’s me,

always has been,

always will be.

Signed,

Love

    Hi, Melody, how are you?
    I really like this idea. It’s a different POV on love, and that is what makes it shine a little brighter than other love poetry. Thanks for sharing.
