Love is to allow someone the choice to walk towards the precipice, knowing they might never return Love is to deny the urge to be the rescuer and to embrace the pain of a broken heart Love is to see a part of you suffering time after time and not to intervene Love is not knowing and still hoping whilst getting darkened whispers from afar Love is hearing lie after lie and still believing Love is to realise you are not the answer and point the way to the giver of life Love is choosing to live alone rather than being someone else’s fix Love is not being the provider for another’s compulsions Love is allowing pain to be the healer Love is never to stop praying and always watching Greater love has no one, than he lay down his life for a friend John Lowton November 2023
