Impossible Not to Love

Sometimes love comes to us unexpectedly,

without shame or hesitation,

it glances at us sideways,

makes no fuss,

and promptly reveals its purpose.

Sometimes love reveals itself gently,

quietly giving,

offering

what only love knows how to give,

and it becomes impossible,

impossible not to love.

Sometimes love panics,

sees no way out,

and resigns itself to the possibility

that there may be

other lives

to make up for

the distances, the missed encounters,

and the moments of loneliness

that seem

never-ending.

Weighing the importance,

it makes a firm decision...

Not to look back,

to keep its feet firmly planted.

Sometimes love sheds tears,

remembers lost times,

seeking forgiveness,

seeking redemption,

and needing to rebuild,

because ahead,

when God's hand

surprises us,

we will have made

the right decision,

fulfilling the written word

on a blessed journey

toward heaven.

Sometimes love loves

because it's impossible not to,

and the heart transcends

what only love knows how to give.

Sometimes love weeps,

sometimes love makes us weep,

and none of this is good or bad,

but rather the process we follow

to ultimately know

that we could grow,

and with our eyes fixed firmly,

move in the direction

where life is broader.

Impossible not to love

what only love knows how to give.

Impossible is not to love

what only love knows how to give.
