Love is that emotion which is given with complete abandon

It is innocent and true, allowing none other to have a hand in

Love is sharing of all emotion - fully and without expectation

Of any kind of return to give it any reason or inner sanction



If you feel it - and thus give it out and for all you are worth

It will come back to you - in a way which will provide mirth

True Love is not tied in with any kind of business transaction

It is complete openness, honesty, respect and utter devotion



Love is total concern for another's willingness to accept so blindly

Emotional needs which sometimes hide ulterior motives behind the

Expression of caring which is put out on a dolly sliding on a track

Which can go only so far forward before it stops, then comes back



If you are feeling the tightness of anything at all like this situation

Then know there is sometimes other things which cause the elation

Love knows no bounds, nor is it tied in at all with any kind of rope

For all is shared totally and completely - and full of cheer and hope



Sort through all of the emotions you feel and balance upon the seesaw

Understand the reality of love is not complicated by any kind of sore

All of it is given without regard to any kind of desired compensation

For True Love knows no bounds - and thus is totally free of tension.
