A Silent Love

There you are on the bus, so tired, and even though I don’t usually pray, I just want you safe, that’s all. Wherever you are, may you be safe, especially on nights out. I pray that caring souls are always there for you.

May the love that finds you be a gift, not an exchange. The kind that says, I wish you a happy life. Love is neither a transaction (where you expect something in return) nor a condition (based on give and take). Love, as I’ve learned, is freedom, a lesson my biological father instilled in me. Regardless of whether I’m part of your world or someone else holds your heart, your joy is still my greatest wish.

You’re my favorite soul,
not for your looks,
but for what you feel like within.

To others,
you may seem like
the ultimate combination.

I do not see you
as others see you.
