Love in the beauty of simplicity


A man asked me, “Have you ever found love?” I said no, but I’d like to think I did once. This man asked me, “Would you have given him the world?” I said no, but he was the only man in the world who I could trust. That man then asked me, “Was he everything you ever wanted?” I said no, but I never needed anything else when he made me smile. The man finally asked me, “Was he the best lover you ever had?” I said no, but he made me feel beautiful.
