Love Like That
the first time
you want for something
so much it hurts
and you’re told “no.”
is that the moment when
it kicks in
the c o n d i t i o n s
of love
little children seem to know
they just innately know
how to love something
or someone
without a promise
or a prize
there are no conditions
to it
it’s like they’re lit up from within
with an abundance of LOVE
so much so
they can’t contain it
so they give it all
away
without any thought
or hesitation
or expectation
it is the purest
simplest
most profound
love
there is in the world
the love that needs no return
it just is
and it’s what we search for
in the end
