Love & Water


#BecauseILoveYou

“I Love You” should be like the need of the desert land during the summer-dry months

Love comes back like the sun to rise each morning

“I Love You” should be like the guarantee the sun will rise in the east as it rests in the west every evening

Love is the four different phases that make up a whole day

Love is like a plant that needs the sun, air, earth, and water – its growth is forever

Love is what you should expect back in return

Love comes, Love goes, and Love returns

Love is different elements that make up a whole

Love is the earth’s elements that make up your being

Love should be shared as our mother earth shares her parts with human

Love should be waterways that cut through anything, but acknowledged that it may destroy or replenish

Love should be seen as pure as water

The contaminants are clear to see

Love should not be misconstrued whatsoever to settle anger, jealousy, or satisfy revenge

Love is pure as water – You can see it, taste, feel it, yearn for it, need for it, grow from it, made from it, embody it, but the smallest contaminants pollute it, therefore, it is no longer pure.
