To Love

Sometimes it is that simple
To love
To simply allow oneself to just...
Love

Yes, it is frightening
But the joy it brings
Oh, the joy

Is so rewarding
That not a pit could bring you down
With rocks around your legs in a lake

To love
Is so exhuberating

That tears can flow freely
From the pressure to escape
That is how much love
I have in me

I could not scream long enough
To show you
An equivalent

Nor squeeze hard enough
For a parallel

Only I know
That I could burst
From what is within me
To love...
