True Love

True love is not something you plan for.

It comes when you least expect it

When you don’t even want it.



When you bring down your defenses,

Let your guard down,

That’s when love invades.



You are never ready

For a relationship until

You don’t want nor need to be in one.



True love comes when

You’re not looking for it.



No relationship has lasted

That began with two people

Desperate for love.



Because it is when you don’t

Have the time or desire

To be in a relationship...



That you can be selfless enough

To give yourself to another.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: the film Intermission and the quote “The worst feeling in the world is giving all the love you have and knowing it will never be returned.”
