POEM| Let Them Know About Our Love

August 14, 2020

—

Our love is like the sun
it soothes and it burns
it’s always there
and it has no competition in the galaxy

Our love is like fire
it’s hot and fierce
it’s always lit
and it purifies everything it touches

Our love is like music
it pleases and it heals
it’s always alive
and it transforms the universe

Our love is like friendship
it isn’t perfect
but it’s always safe
and it’s all I’ll ever need

Love is special, it’s exhilarating and it’s timeless. Which verse do you love most?
