Time Never Wasted

A Pondering of Time Wasted;
Fearful of '...Wasted Love...'

Time Spent Loving
is Never Wasted;

Love being Good
And Pure.

Love being All...

Love...
Real Love Never dies;
Never Ends.
But, Alas
Sometimes, Does change.

Love and Commitment
are Cousins Embraced.
Different entities sharing Illusionary
Purpose.

Love of Self...
Pure and Original;

Love of Self
Must Always be Present
in order to Let Love
Pass through us to Another.

If Absent,
the Emptier we become,
and Commitment becomes
a Lie of Sorts....

My Time was not
a Waste of Love...

My Love, is not now,
and Never has been,
a Waste of Time.

Nor was it ever a Lie.

my Commitments --
be they to others
or Myself --
I allowed to become
Lies in the End;
For I stopped
Learning to Love Myself.

The caring soul I have;
Knowing deeply
the Love that I feel,
the Love I possess,
Never intended to Hurt or Harm.

This Soul of Mine
Is Learning again
that to Love myself
and express Pure Love
to Another,
I Must be Impeccable
with Not only with What I DO say,
But also with What I DON'T say.

Love without Promise
Is it Less Love this way?

Commitment without Love
Is it More Valued that way?

I've known Love with Commitment
for a brief and Rapturous Time.
I would Trade that knowledge, that Pureness
for nothing...Nothing.

I've known Commitment without Love,
the Lack of Love I had for myself.
And Never felt emptier
or More Lost in Time and in Space.

And Now I embark on Love
Alone,
without Promise or Commitment;
Until it's time.
It's all I have to offer;
Love from my Heart,
from my Well-Loved Heart.
