Love lost, love unrequited
Heart aches, heart breaks,
No one is spared.
Many of us may have lost faith in our capacity to love wholly…
Some of us may have lost hope in our desire to be loved fully…
But in the end,
No matter how hurt we have been
By the many indiscretions and betrayals
Of those restless hearts around us
No matter how frustrated we have been
By the many infidelities we have committed…
May we keep on dreaming with eyes wide open
That there is someone out there meant for us
May we keep on daring to leap into the unknown
With that blind trust that there is someone who will catch our falling
For we are called, pushed even to go beyond what our fragile hearts can handle,
To love, and to keep on loving,
no matter if it will break our wounded hearts into a million pieces again
For that is what God does,
In spite of the many deceitful ways we pierce his vulnerable heart
Despite of the varied ways we keep on rejecting his offer of love
For he will always be a hopelessly romantic God
Eternally waiting
For the prodigal child’s return
For he will always be a relentlessly passionate God
Filled with undying hope
That someday, someday, we will surrender ourselves to the warmth of his embrace
And for that, we are, I am, forever grateful
For God, for love, sweet love…
