Not Romance
A heart that
Flutters
A face that
Reddens.
Love at
First Sight:
A lie she
Believes
Is she
Pretty enough,
Popular enough,
Cute Enough?
She wants
Him to
Look, notice her
For who she pretends to be.
And he does.
She's pretty enough,
Popular enough,
Cute Enough.
Introductions go
Boyfriend
Girlfriend.
Perfection.
On top of
The World
Then yanked
Back down.
Selfishness
has overcome
It's about
Themselves now.
A break
It's too late
She's been
Too dependent.
Lost, she wanders
Looking for
Love at First Sight:
Romance.
Not true love
She's never
Heard such a thing.
Why?
Romance
is Instantaneous
Love
Builds.
Love cares
has patience
Doesn't remember
the bad, but the good.
Love Came
Down
As a baby
Who grew for one purpose.
Sacrifice.
In torture
Just for her.
Just for Us.
Love is
sacrifice
Love is
Other-seeking.
She's looking
For artificial love
Wrapped like a present
Covered in hearts and bows.
She needs
True Love
The kind that can
Save.
Her best friend
Finally shows her
The light, by
how he lives.
He shows he
honestly cares
About more than her
Image.
He is not
Perfect
Which is
the whole point.
He is fueled
by the Holy Spirit
True Love
Not Romance.
You can be
Loved, you can
Give Love
Just believe.
True Love is
what really
matters
Not Romance.
