Dear Love

by Poetress Justice

You make me feel at one with myself,

I can trust that you will never hurt me because you are at one with yourself,

You came at time where I was gone and out,

And I was scared to see what love was about,

You've shown me not to be afraid to give you my heart,

Because I have to let love play its part,

I have to let love cherish, hold, and beautify me,

Without you I'm not sure where I would be,

You taught me to fight through tears, heartache, and depression,

If it wasn't for you I probably would have lost myself, but my horizons broadened,

You showed me the true meaning of loving someone,

Before you I was never willing to listen,

My mind was shut closed from love, you couldn't try to convince me to open it up,

And it had nothing to do with my many breakups,

But thanks to you I found a love worth fighting for,

How is it possible that you became my cure,

Because before you love and I were at war,

So I'm writing you this love letter so you can understand how I feel,

Before you I believed that love was unreal,

You told me to never be afraid to love you,

And I did just that because I was tired of feeling blue,

You became a love that loved me even more,

A year later we brought a child into the world, this precious one I grew to adore,

Every time I look at her I see you and me,

How is it that you and I created such a beautiful baby?,

She is a part of us,

And to have her in our lives will always make me speechless,

Without your love she would not be possible,

You've been faithful,

So for that I'm forever grateful,

Never could call you a dawg, a nothing ass, or a dead beat,

Because you was never cheating or whoring around in the streets,

So as I put an end to this love letter,

I want you to know that I will love you forever,

It's really rare that you can find your soulmate these days,

But I guess I did because you came my way.

My name is Tonasia but my poetress name is Poetress Justice (PJ). I have been writing poetry since i was 13, but started over when I was 17 because I wanted my poems to appear to a much older audience. I love to write poetry and the way that it just flows. I believe it was a genetic thing because my mom and dad use to write when they were younger, and I guess it kind of grew on me overtime. Since I have been writing I have gotten nothing but positive feedback from friends, and the whole GSPoetry site since I started. Most people have told me that I should publish my poems, but due to shyness I am afraid to. With that being said, I hope you enjoy my writing and hope that some of you can relate in a way to any of them.

<p>Dear Love came up off the top of my head and was inspired by my two friends who I went to college with. There relationship is what every girl wants in life and I hope that you enjoyed it, and the meaning behind it. And I would like to thank them for inspiring me.</p>
