Am I ready for love?
The one question we all ask ourselves
Are we ready for love?
First thing is to decide what love means to you
Love means different things to different people
Webster defines love as endearment, affection, devotion, and tenderness.
But still love means so much more.
For some of us it means money and material things.
And for others it means companionship
Some of us prefer the act of love
Many settle for a version of love.
And some of us are fooled to believe that we are in love
Only to find out later that you were the only one in love
We each at some point of our life pray for love
Longing for that true unconditional love that never fades
So many of us are not ready when love comes
We are not prepared for the emotions that flood our heart.
Until we become afraid of love
Many of us don’t recognize what love is
When you love someone more than they love youself that leads to heartbreak
And once scarred by love a wall goes up around your heart
Which in turn makes it harder to be ready for love
Cause now are more concern with protecting your heart
Then allowing love to enter your heart
So how will you know if you are ready for love?
