Love is the Answer

I’ve been saying it, promoting it, and living it. If you give love, you will receive love. Two of my girlfriends and myself have all found ourselves in similar positions. We separated from the ones that we love. The love relationships that we made a part of our worlds have become broken, and with it, our hearts and our souls. We began the journey, alone but together in spirit, of reaching deep in ourselves and relying on the love that we found within.

I saw one of my girlfriends over the weekend. Gone was the woman who was broken the last time I saw her. In its place was a woman whose face was full of smile. Her eyes could light up the whole room. She had made the decision to love herself, and good things happened. The love that she had for herself was contagious. So contagious, in fact, that it brought Her Love right back into her arms, right were he belongs.

I got a phone call from my other girlfriend last night. I’ve watched her lately as she went from a woman broken into pieces because she lost Her Love to a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. A woman who thought her life was over but found her strength. A woman who began to love herself. She called to tell me that Her Love came back to her. He didn’t bring the ring, but he brought his love and his desire for marriage and a family with her.

Where does that leave me? I’m still here, on this path of love. I’ve found my love deep within. I’ve been faced with circumstances lately that would have caused me to lash out and behave in an evil vindictive manner. But that was before I knew love. Now, I just cry. And remain firm. And always honest. Always sure. And always with love, love for myself and love for others. My Love hasn’t come back to me, but that’s ok. He’s on his own journey right now. I will continue to do what I’m doing, and that is to give love.

If you give love, you will receive love.
