Love unconditional…It’s like a leaf floating through the air on a breeze. You long for it, you want it, and you need it!!! It seems to float just out of reach; you can just barely touch it with your fingertips, yet cannot grasp a hold!!! You stare into the vacant blackness of night. Only the old man in the moon stares back. Loneliness, emptiness sets in as you dream!!! Will it ever be? Have I given up? Where do I find it? The crisp cool air wraps around your ever so frail heart as it sends shivers down your spine. Oh to have your soulmate wrap his strong arms around you tight, to hold you, to love you….To love unconditional…Your frail heart breaks as you long for the missing pieces of your life! To have someone be there for you, to laugh with, to talk to, to share with!!! Someone to be beside you not because they have to but because there is no other place they would rather be!!! Something runs down your cheek as it begins to sprinkle droplets of rain. Was that a tear or rain drop? You question yourself how you ever got to this place? Why does no one see your heart? Why does no one see past the mistakes? Why does it feel as though no one understand? When is it my turn? I’ve given myself, I’ve loved unconditionally, when do I get to receive? The drops continue to fall; both tears and rain mix. You’re determined not to give up!! You continue to reach, to reach for the leaf floating effortlessly in the breeze!!! You lunge for it and miss!!!The pain, the hurt, the sadness!! You’re determined to catch it!!! Once again, you turn to the man in the moon!!! You see him, he’s steadfast and gives you a renewed vigor to have what you so desire. You wait, wondering, the rain stops, the stars begin to shine; you lose yourself in their beauty!!! Like diamonds they shimmer, dancing in the darkness. The breeze slows; the shivers down your spine are new!!! It’s a different feeling. One of happiness, one of love!!!The tears are gone!!! You open your fingers, and there it is resting in your palm!!! You’ve caught it!!!! The leaf resting in your hand; you realize your soulmate is wrapping his arms around you!!! Love unconditional embracing you!!! There’s no other place he’d rather be than right there with you!!
