I Dig Your Soul

The first rule of love is

Not to forget is exists

We try so hard to find it

We over look it and then laugh later about how it was there all the time

 

The second rule of love

Is to enjoy it

Love doesn’t get you down

It guides you

 

Love tells you who you are

When you choose someone to love

There is always always something in them that is in you

Or you couldn’t see it in them

 

So when you meet people and you are attracted to them

Know it is the similarities that you both have that you could see

And you can only love another as much as you love yourself

And you can only allow another to love you as much as you love you

 

So if your love doesn’t go too deep

Then don’t expect a relationship to

We expect so much from love

When we don’t know what to ask of it

As though it should know for us

And then lead us to bliss

 

Love is as active as you are

As slow as you are

As honest as you are

As forthright as you are

 

Love is always here

Available and ready

Until you tell it what to do,

Where to go

Who to share you with

 

So the next time you find yourself

All excited and happy

Don’t wait for love to tell you what to do

It is waiting for you

To steer it and bring you to who you are

 

 Love is so simple that it scares me to realize

How little we know of it after all of this time

I still wait for it to notice me

But really it was just how little we know of ourselves

To notice it’s waiting at the gate!

What you have in common is your key

What you do not is your acceptance

And what you like or do not like is your tolerance

And what you are not knowing of yet is your growth

Anyone can have sex, however can anyone have a relationship

A partnership

We all know how to meet

Yet do we all know how to stay

How to stand still in compromise when things do not go our way

When we are scared to have the love of another

And we want to run away just because we do not know what else to do

A relationship is our growing ground

And in the best case scenario

In safety

To grow and still be loved

It is a very hard thing to do when you are in argument

and then rekindle the parts where we like being vulnerable

And we open ourselves to loving in the freedom of how see love

rather than what love is supposed to look like

We can decide that, we can choose to stay and fight

Fight for an us

For a place to stay

for what love can mean if we let it

It is our acceptance of us,

Of each of us

And then the bigger us

It is the compromise that we miss when we are alone

And the promise we feel when we are together

Our lives are meant for many things

And one big one is getting along

With ourselves

And then with others

That is both the meat and the potatoes

It is the meal

It is the balance

It is not having to choose one or the other

It is living in love as you know it, learn it, breath it, look for it and become it

Our love already exists in us

Postponing it because we are waiting for lightning to strike

Rather than a partnership

A look rather than a person

Stuff instead of love first

Then we have found every way around love and not in it

In it, as we find over time is the only way to go

And we would give everything to know it

So know it

We would give everything to meet someone

So let yourself

Without judgment

Warmth does not have a look

Truth does not have a price tag

And love does not have one definition

Fill your plate

With all your thoughts in real life

And real life exceeding your dreams

That is when you know you found life in life

And life in heart

Warmth in soul

And balance that extends itself to your home, your relationships, your work

The Love we need now

Is love that is unspoken

We feel so energized when we are noticed

Not the attentions that you would think

Like the big awards or the new things we can have

It is in the conversations, where both people can look each other in the eye

It is in the meals shared, that were prepared together and eaten together

It is in the leftovers that you cannot wait to eat

One day we wake up singing

A song to a happy tune

Without a prompt or a reason

Without music or noise

Only the excitement of seeing you

 

Today we are getting married

Saying Yes to each other

without further ado

 

Love is the trail we followed

Learned each other in safety and grew

Let our ugly find itself, showed it to you

You said, Hey that’s OK

I am still here for you

 

I learned me through you

You told me the truth

You speak to me, it is not only you

It is you and me, and we are two

 

There is strength in numbers

When the two are in truth

Someone to say to you

this works for me too

 

Love is not a show

or does it come with a map

Love’s design is to teach us

And build life without holes, without traps

 

It is a place of safety

To speak that I am still OK

Even when I don’t feel like it

Even when I am too tired to see my way

 

One of us is always leading

Learned partnership that way

Each day is an open conversation

Of all we can share and build, a story page by page

 

Nothing comes all at once

It would leave us dry and bored

Love comes in surprises

Of all we thought it could not be

Love is the surprise of our souls

When it show me, me

 

The more I can see of me

The more I find in you

The treasures of us as people

And adding the love in there too

Thank you for saying

when you do this it hurts me

It made me see you

and you taught me to care

As you show me how you care for you

I have learned to care for me

 

I find that the more I learn

I more I understand you

The greater my challenges

that eliminate the feelings of something I can not say

 

You opened the door of my soul

With your openness to me

You teach me to be

Without trying to be better than me

 

I realize there is nothing you could want

Other than to tell me the truth

I realize there is nothing I can give

Other than my purity to you

 

Love is invisible

Yet it is felt in its strength

It is the bond we can not see

Yet the bond of everyday

Love is not a person, a place or a thing

Love is my emotion, that I bring to each day

Love is my compass of where I go, and where I stay

Love is the open ended answer

 

As many questions as it presents

It is those very questions

Whose answers are fought for

And learned of

That teaches my soul

Its one main purpose

To love, honor, and live

In today, in the present

 

I stand before myself in completeness

As I see it in you

No fear in growing further

No lines drawn in the sand

No more saying what if….

It is here that I stand

I stand for us

The “us” we have become

The world that we built

With those that we love

The house that we fill

With our everyday of thoughts

The home that we carry

Everywhere we go
