My Theory Of Love

Love is who I am
who I am afraid to be
Love is what will finally
bring me to my knees
for her,
so many of them

the one who I saw come out of her
mother's womb
the one who's dark skin is
just like mine
the one who when she cries
brings tears to
my eyes
the one who cried without me
and now wants to be without me

Love will either make me or break me
it will be my beginning
or my end
It will let me love you
even if it is only
as my friend

Love is accepting that there are some
mistakes that cannot be undone
but believing that Love
will get me past
the past
to once again enjoy
your sun

Love is having faith
in you and me
believing that there is
eternity
even when the fear is great
that you will just walk away
but humbling myself
and hoping anyways

Love is
the one named you
