The One Thing I Can't Live Without.


It's something I can't live without

It's something the heart craves but also gives.

It' something that everyone wants but some don't get.

It's something we cannot demand,command, or take away.

It's bigger than us; you can invite but not dictate how it will be.

It doesn't come with conditions or codes.

It doesnt have limitations or criteria.

It cannot be bought, sold, or traded.

It's not a punisment or a reward.

It's given by people to the people they choose.

This wonderful thing is called love, and it is one beautiful thing.
