Today's reading:

 

Obsession is not love,

infatuation is not love,

when someone ignores you

or treats you poorly, carelessly,

or with indifference

that’s not love—

that’s a lack of love,

for yourself, for trying to fill

your missing pieces with theirs

but when someone is whole

and you are whole

and you act in kindness and benevolence, vulnerability

through strength,

love becomes an exchange

with another person—

and that is

its truest form.

 

Other Poems Read Today:

  • “Protect Your Circle” by Kayil York)
  • "Ferocious Independence, a Lion in the Sea” by Prince Neptune)
