True Love

By:brooklyn oberly

Year after year

I see a woman

…..wait….

I went up and asked her

What she was waiting for

She said

True Love

I laughed

She said it is

The strongest

Power there is

For it contains

Love

Peace

Hope

Faith

I left for a few years

After that

And came

Back….

The woman

Had been sitting there

For four years

Waiting

On this true love

I went up

And told her

There is no

Such thing

As

True love

For when you

Love someone

With all of your heart

They tend to break it into

Pieces

And crush you

Make you fall in till you

Feel like dirt

This time she laughed

At me

And told me all the things

True love brings

Later I saw her on the

Street

In the arms of a man

She very much loved

She told everyone

Of her true love

I asked her later

Why she didn’t  give up 

She said

“All the ones that

Broke your heart

They were just

Samples of what

Life would be

Without

True love I’ve been there

Done that

….But….

Each break up

Brings you closer to

Your one

True Love.”
