I have...

Have you ever loved someone?
A love so deep and selfless
That you if you loved any greater
Your heart would burst from the mere weight of it all?
Have you ever loved a person so much
You would lay down your life
If you thought that it would make their life better?
Giving all of yourself
Making sure that you never left that person
Unless they knew how much you cared?
I have...
Have you ever loved someone
Who never loved you back?
Who just took and took until you were left alone and empty?
You cry out for answers
Because you have been denied
Over and over
The one thing you desire most on the earth
The desire to be loved unconditionally
As you have loved so many times
I have...

Have you ever wallowed in self pity?
Hardening your heart
Afraid to love because you were afraid of rejection
And so in return you rejected the one being
Who has always loved you
And I mean always?
I have...

Every time I gave my heart to another
He would weep because i no longer spent time with him
HE desires me more than any mere man possibly could
And yet I tend to ignore him
Thinking this other person can fill a hole
That only he can fill

I am so consumed with loving others
I forget to take time to show love
To the one who taught me how to love
I forget that only he can make pain go away
Only he can chase away the loneliness
Only he can love me so unconditionally
That i will NEVER to a day
Without knowing I'm loved

maybe it's time i stopped searching for answers from the word
Because this world will never love me
And turn to a friend who will never leave me
A father who's love will never cease
A lover who's love won't ever be conditional
And a Savior whoes grace can't be bought or sold

Maybe it's time i loved the creator of love with my everything...
