Imagine that you find a love so sweet,

That makes your insides jump with butterflies,

And makes you smile just thinking about it. 

Imagine that you find a love so gentle,

That it makes you melt into someone who trusts,

And who shares with vulnerability.

Imagine that you find a love that fits,

That is so perfect that you wonder,

if it could last forever.

And imagine that you find a love so painful,

That what hurts and tears them,

Hurts and tears you too.

Imagine that you find a love so angry,

That you can’t reconcile the injustice,

And the dishonesty and the jealousy.

Imagine that you find a love so full of holes,

That you realize that nothing you do,

Will ever solve, fix, or redeem.

Imagine that you find a love that blocks,

That suffocates the dreams and truth you know,

Because they don’t align.

And…

Imagine you let go.

And then you realize you were loved all along. 

Imagine that you find a love that stays,

That never leaves, that is faithful,

That doesn’t cheat you out of your worth. 

Imagine that this love fills holes, 

Takes down walls,

Forgives you for being imperfect,

Fits in your life so seamlessly,

You wonder why you never noticed.

This love is so gentle,

So sweet,

And it transforms your pain. 

Imagine that this love is perfect.

Peaceful,

And greater than you can imagine. 

Imagine that this love is unfailing,

Supporting,

Hopeful,

And

That it illuminates a path of life,

Perfectly designed for you.

And that this love will compensate for

All of the unfairness,

Pain, 

And heartache.

And transform it into a beautiful,

Overwhelmingly wondrous,

Story.
