Love (Version #20)

Over 2 dozen years.

I never learned about love.

Nothing.

I witnessed it several times,

from a distance,

among friends and family.

I never experienced Love.

I never could define Love.

I have always fantasized about Love.

The term, the feeling, the concept; all so very abstract.

It wasn’t until recently, that I was able to start grasping the concept.

Because of you, I am beginning to understand.

The great grand concept of Love.

I can’t define it, but you certainly have enlightened me.

You taught me so much, about the feelings involved.

The tenderness, the warmth, the desire, the courage,

the immense connection, the pride, the protection.

The devotion, the dedication, the kindness,

the gazes, the playfulness, the bond stronger than diamond.

I never thought I would understand it, even though I always desired too.

But, finally, I have begun.

I thank you for teaching me so much, in such a short amount of time.

You’ve only had about 17 months on earth, but, if it wasn’t for you,

my life would still be blind to the possibility of Love.

I now know about the outer tip of the concept of what Love is.

From this knowledge, I hope to discover it,

in the places and people, I wish to share it with.
