To Be Without Love

To Be Without Love

by John S LES


To be without love
Or not to be
To look at the sky above
Not within me.

I know I give love
That's a part of me
I have received love
That's comes naturally

To inspire love
That is a work of art
It can stroke your ego
Or it can tear your soul apart

Sometimes you feel lonely
Sometimes you feel left to the side
Those are the times
When we have to surrender our pride

Love from others is precious
But it is a gift that sways back and fourth
One day it leans south, east or west
One day it swings true north

The moment we say we're dying of thirst
For the person we say we want to love
Who were we really thinking of first?
Who is the one we're truly thinking of?

Love from another can only be shared
Love comes from the heart and soul
Of someone who truly cares

So stand fast, stand tall
And just keep love in your heart
Because it is true
That is where true love all starts

If you love yourself first
all will see
It enshrouds you like a shirt
And that is the start to living happily.

Then love will come to you
Like magic in the air
So stay humble to yourself
Cause soon enough it will be here.
