love

she whispered "I love you" yet,

he didn't bite.

he wrapped his arms around as she wept.

only silence, 

and the soft, choking sob filled the air.

"why?" she asked him and all he said was

"because I love you."

yet you can replace these lines

with mother or father,

friend, lover, brother or sister

and all should be the same. 

be kind to one another, 

hold people close

your vulnerablity is what makes you strong.

love like your are on fire because sometimes

it is healthy to lose yourself

in someone else.
