Giving Myself
...to love unconditionally.
I fall in love so easily
with an idea,
a piece of music,
or an image
and a way
of seeing things.
Yet I struggle
to love my life
and the people in it.
It takes me a while
to fall for a friend,
a cute little baby,
or a better idea.
But I have a soul,
and so eventually
I am able to let go,
giving myself over
to unconditional love.
