I Once Saw A Picture…

Send this to a person you love.

I once saw a picture…
That said, “You only have three loves.
The First one, the young one. The one
that grows apart. It was the love that you knew love to be.”

“The Second love was the one that hurt.
The love that showed us betrayal, lies,
abuse, and great pain. Yet, this love
taught us about love. Taught us to
grow, to know what we want
and don’t want.”

This third one.. The words on the
picture describe it as… the blind love.
And I don’t mean in the way that
blinds you from the outside world.
I mean the love that was there
the entire time, waiting to wrap it’s arms
around you from behind.

This is the love that comes to you
with no warning.

It’s the love that led you to me,
And it’s the love that I’ll always
thank the universe for.

It’s the love that loves you.
From my heart to yours, my darling.
