Do not look at me through the eyes of an enemy.
I am made only of love, nothing else, and I ask for nothing more than your trust. Beyond a handful of memories, life gives us little to hold on to, so do not chase time as it slips away. If you cannot accept the light shining in others’ homes, at least allow your own house to be illuminated. Who knows when the beloved may arrive to meet you? Until then, light a new lamp every day on the edge of hope, and let love, not suspicion, be the lens through which you see.
