Hold On

                                                UPS (way up high)
Life has its
and its


                                  downs (way down low)

But we have to
keep going
*holding on*
when everything tells us to

*let go*


Times can be so good...
                                      but as a result...
to keep the balance...
                                      Times can be oh so bad too.

When that  one person
  in your life can make
  you  smile  at  least
    one  time  a  day
      is it  worth  it
        to let them
          slip away
            out of
              fear
                ?
              OR
            should
          we keep
        on fighting
        to have this
      work out...this
    emotional  thing
  which  people  call
---L-----O-----V-----E---

Love is not something instantaneous.
It is something that grows.
The initial attraction
is merely Fate giving us
an opportunity.

An opportunity to allow
something new
and different
to hold sway in
our daily lives.

Passion.
The ultimate illusion...
Passion is the highest form
of desire.
Pure instinct.

Fear.
The simplest emotion...
Fear is the basics of our
(((survival instincts)))
in overdrive.

The FUTURE.
Oh, the most complex
characteristic of daily
living...
We have no control over what will
become of our lives
for nothing is written in stone.
Not even the truest of loves.

Love is slow
ever-growing
and always expanding.
It is not something that happens
"at first sight"

Love is something that must always be
fought for
and it is
something that must always have
compromises from all affected.

Spontaneity is learned.
Love is grown.
And the future always happens
whether we planned it or not.

And as the mortals in this existence...
all we can do...
is to simply...
