A Thousand Reasons

A thousand reasons, a thousand years,
a thousand turnings, a thousand words.
Hold back, hold back, not yet.
Give only after given.
Sing the song of love only after hearing it.
Is he true? Are you true?
Find the one, the one.
Stay safe, keep your heart for one.
So many reasons, so much advice.
But love is to be learned on its own.
Each in his own time.
No one can be told you will love this way or that.
No one can tell you who you will be.
Do not push, yet do not hide.
A thousand reasons to not tell what is there,
A thousand reasons to stay quiet,
Each one an argument of its own,
But not one of them can stand against truth.
Hide it no more.
Fear not rejection.
Love.
I took that step.
Even after my mistakes,
even after my fears of being abandoned for my past.
But when I said the words,
Immense joy and relief swept over me.
Do not contain what is meant to fly.
When forgiveness and love come,
do not reject it.
Return it.
Reciprocate.
Love.
And you will be set free.
A thousand reasons, a thousand obstacles,
but they cannot stand against
Love.
I have never been more free.




Thanks be to my God and Savior Jesus Christ,
for giving me the strength to love.
You love the whole world,
We love you because you first loved us.
Let me love the one who loves me.
I put my trust in You,
gave You my heart for guidance.
You have released my heart.
I am free in You.
Free to love him.
I am free.
