Offering

.


That split second……………..

When I realized what I feel for you is true love
Which is even bigger than I feel for my own
And value more than life itself

When I realized it is a matter of the heart
Which involves my core values
And value of the respect it contains

When you realize you have followed your infatuation twice
Which did not bring you the happiness you sought
And value that is due to you

When you realize that true love runs deeper
Which elevates you to first place
And value the commitment to you

When I realized I had proven the extent of my chosen loyalty before
Which was at cost of my health
And value of what I collected

When I realized that is the best I can offer
Which is more precious than all I can ever possess
And value as life most coveted

When you realize it is willingly offered to you
Which you will never find elsewhere
And value it brings you

When you realize what it means to have and to hold
Which is your ultimate reward
And value when you too experience

That split second……………..
