what i have learnt about love

I've learnt that it expands
it is the warmth that envelopes
not the orphaned gift detached
not the empty chill that goes into your bones

I've learnt that it doesn't always give us what we want
but it makes us strong

I've learnt that it does not need conditions
does not need reciprocations
because like a tree well tended
its roots are strong
it grows up tall
becomes the overarching force that protects you and me in its shade

I've learn that it is painful
but that it is worth it

like the blindness we must tear away
for a glimpse of heaven
when that light touches the deep
we are never the same again.
