HATE LOVE


she was not happy

happy was not a familiarity, until he loved her

her idea of love was jaded

jaded in that everything that felt like love, was quite the opposite

opposites attract

attract what you truly need

need more genuine love

love isnt greed, jealousy, betrayal, ultimatums, perfect

perfect love is freedom to be

be who you need to be for you

you attract the love you give yourself

yourself can be condemned to emotional poverty, or heightened to emotional wealth

wealth, comes from self preservation, self actualization, 

preserve who you are

no less than the universe and stars. 

go after it, love

love can be cultivated, raised, learned

learned behavior becomes habit

habit becomes your life, love can be a habit

habits like freedom, inclusion, acceptance, passion, beauty, fullness

fullness in heart, when he loved her right,
