THOUGHT BUBBLE – #6 June 27

I am miserly with my love.

Really.

I know I’m not alone in that statement.

Someone has to meet many requirements,

For me to stick with it and call it love.

Lasting love.

The kind that overlooks flaws and failures,

Sees only someone to support, comfort,

Allowed to take my last bit of whatever I have,

Strength, patience, food, clothing, chocolate cake,

And still leave me open to give more because love

Will replenish even as I give my life away.

I don’t apply that label to just anyone.

I don’t.

I hold love back.

The power in it is too close to my inner being.

I wonder if I am ever able to give freely,

To anyone,

What would that be like?

Is it possible?

I am merely looking through the window and asking,

What do I see?
