Dear Love

Do I need to introduce myself?
No, I do not think that is important;
You live in me; you live everywhere
And you have followed me everywhere;
So you must know me as I know you.

You are the realest thing I have ever known
Yet I can neither see nor touch you,
All I do is feel you.
I am content with that alone,
Yet you wont let me be.
Do you ever let people be?
I am human. What are you?

Why do you treat me this way?
You are the embodiment of all the emotions that I feel
Yet you stick like glue to my heart,
Always bending me to do your will
Can I ever get free from you?
Because it seems like I am your prisoner;
Yet I do not feel like a prisoner,
Neither do I feel trapped.

You, my dear love,
Are life perfect irony and the perfect mirage.
You bring all my imaginations to life,
You give colour to the little picture in my head;
And make me feel like the greatest artist of all times.
Its crazy right?
You make me build castles in thin air,
You take me around the world in seconds and all this,
To what end?

Love makes one see good in bad,
Life in death, warmth in cold, courage in fear;
And hope in uncertainty.
How amazing!
I thought I was your prisoner,
But now i know better.
I am my own prisoner,
because I blindly believe the the things you make me see.
I hold on to them as if they were real,
And now its hard to let go.

Dear love, I hold no grudges against you
In fact, I really love the love that you make me love
So I just want to say thank you!
Thank for for being there for me
During the cold nights and hot days.
You have been my best companion.
