i've thought this forever
forever it seems
it's captured my thoughts
encapsulated my dreams
took me to task
the direction i leaned
removing its mask
showed all that it means

took all of my questions
filled in the blanks
opened the windows
turned on the lights
moved all the wrongs
over to right
with nothing to hide
easy to find

of course what i'm speaking
of is the love
in holding out hope
it will kindly show up
then all the thinking
and dreaming i've done
will come to fruition
in the opening up

...of love
