I greet you, Love
You, the force that binds unknown hearts,
You, the spark that brings happiness to those who’ve forgotten its warmth,
You, the light that draws a smile from the shadows,
You, the healer of broken souls,
The one who gently wipes away our old pains.
You are the wonder we stumble upon,
In moments we never thought we'd find you.

But now I say goodbye to you, Love.
For now, they call you entanglements.
Once the bearer of joy, now sowing sorrow and strife,
You scatter hearts, leaving them fragile in your wake.
Trust is a word hollowed out because of you,
And our hearts are relics of what we once felt in your name.

Love, these days you come with conditions—
You've grown eyes, gazing only at the beautiful,
You linger only where riches shine.
You cling to material, to gold and glamour,
And fade when those things slip away.

Yet, I hold a memory of what you were,
A light that didn’t demand, a bond that was pure.
Though goodbye feels heavy, I carry your essence,
Hoping one day you'll return, unburdened by need,
As the Love we believed in, steady and free.
