The Keys To Love
The key to love is understanding... the ability to comprehend not only the spoken word, but those unspoken gestures, the little things that say so much by themselves.
The key to love is forgiveness... to accept each other's faults, and pardon mistakes, without forgetting- but with remembering what you learn from them.
The key to love
is trust...
though dark doubts
lay in hollowed
thoughts, it must
shine brightly on
with reassuring radiance
that supresses fear
with faith.
The key to love
is sharing...
facing your good
fortunes as well
as the bad,
together;
both conquering problems-
forever searching for
ways to intensify
your happiness...
The key to love
is giving...
without thought of
return, but with
the hope just
a simple smile
and by givng-in
but never up.
The key to love
is respect...
realizing that you
are two seperate people
with different ideas;
that you don't
belong to each other,
but that you
belong with each other
and share a
mutual bond.
The key to love
is inside us all...
it takes time
and patience
to unlock all
the ingredients
that will take
you to its threshold;
it is a continual
learning process
that demands a
lot of work...
but the rewards
are more than
worth the effort...
And you
are the key
to me.
