Love is the fairytale
we all learn of
as children…
something that we hope for and long for
something that just happens
something that will surely
make us whole
…and when we find it
we learn another story
we learn of compromise and sacrifice
we discover something of who we are in another
we are surprised by its depth and beauty
we are disappointed too, by its reality
no longer a fairytale,
but a never ending journey
a hero's quest
not to find love
instead…to give it
to share it
to make it stay
forever
