Don’t spread

your “I Love You”

to the right and the left

but keep it

deep within you

closed … until

you genuinely feel it

to the core

so it burns and hurts

so much

you think you can’t bear it anymore,

to the point that you feel you go crazy.

Then, endure it just a little bit more

you will know what Love is

here, you can confess

and surrender to the sacred of Love.
