An Open Letter to Love

What if you personally know the personified Love? What would you ask her?

I tried answering it for me tonight.

An Open Letter to Love
May 17, 2009

Love.

I've always treasured you
And the people who gave you to me.
But if there's one thing I'm learning
So you could as well not hurt me,
Is that not because I have you,
I should offer you carelessly.

There are times that giving you feels wrong.
And people slammed it to my face!
There are times I have to stop feeling you.
Not because I fell out of it, but I was forced to!

I never learned faking you.
I tried a couple of times in vain.
It was never too easy for me
That when I share you sincerely,
I won't get the same.

Shit.
I still can even feel your latest pain!

Yes, I'll be back to feel you again.
I'll bounce back to share you
To somebody you really deserve to belong.
I'm still longing to her who I gave you lately,
But I doubt she'll offer you back to me.

Though I hope to be proven wrong!

I've always treasured you
And the people who gave you to me.
But to spare me shame and spare my pride,
And so you could as well not hurt me,
I will learn one and only one thing:
It is not because I have you,
I should offer you carelessly.

Yours truly,
Obi
