i found LOVE
on FOREVER street
walking hand in hand with
TIME
i couldn't stop staring at her
lusting for her
at night alone
asking God to send
LOVE my way
so that we could marry
and have our first child
MEMORIES.
I guess God saw that i was fit
and ready to recieve
or was he trying to show me that things aren't
always what they seem
that i must believe
it has to be by his will not mine..
so LOVE came my way
with her sweet kisses
touches
but neither her or God
warned me about her ex
TIME
that he would not give up
he would have her back
so he came to see me
with his brother
PAIN
and put a whippin on me you wouldn't believe
left me for dead
the doctors said i was found by my cousin
HEART
said i was still uttering the words
" love"
over and over again
officer DEPRESSION
was there to take my statement
of my account of what had happened
and i told him about LOVE
and he laughed
i asked why
and he said
"since i've been on the force
LOVE's name
has come up
more and more.
she's wanted, by millions of people
near and far,
that she actually lives
with your cousin
HEART"
to my astonishment
he walked out
and then came in
PAIN
to finish me off
with the barrel of the gun
leveled at my chest
i asked why
he said because TIME is not on my side
and will never be
as i closed my eyes
recited my prayers
prepared for my death
in walked FORGIVENESS
whom i had never seen before
wearing army camoflauge
dressed to go to war
he said he'd been on the case
since FOREVER street
when i met LOVE
and knew TIME would not be on my side
in the blink of an eye
he took out PAIN
gave me his card
and said he'd always be here
and that he's now my personal bodyguard....


the moral to my story is that we never have enough time, we never have enough love. yet we want them both to take over one another, for our own sake. whether you have it or not, love as if everyday is your last. if you get knocked down, don't worry about time, and if you have enough to fall in love again, or even if you have enough time to get over the pain that you feel. time does not heal wounds, we do. love like you have all the time in the world. if you get hurt, forgive those that wronged you, or if you're the one that causes the damage, ask for your victim to forgive you. and live, love, learn..
