Looking for Love

In the laughter of a child
In an ice cream cone to share
In the holding of a hand
If you look it’s always there

When you touch, it wakes your heart
When you ache to kiss the face
When it really hurts to part
You know you’ve found love, in this place

Hold it close, keep it safe
You will not want it lost
Give it room and let it grow
No matter what the cost

When it’s grown and found its wings
it will come back, for you to see
If it flies off somewhere else
that’s what, was meant to be

    Oh another brilliant piece Rebecca I love this line “When it really hurts to part You know you’ve found love, in this place” also “If it flies off somewhere else that’s what, was meant to be” such a romantic verse and followed with what maybe inevitable if the love is truly not there!
    Beautiful writing …...... you have such a gift to share! a favourite for me! – David :>))

  • RebeccaWeston replied

    Ah David – again, you leave me such wonderful comments – I thank you so very much X

    “If it flies off somewhere else
    that’s what, was meant to be”
    It is so hard not to feel possesive love….
    I guess this is one of the hardest lessons…

  • RebeccaWeston replied

    I may write the words easily enough but I don’t really believe that I would not feel so magnanimous when the time came !!!

    Yes I know! One thing is to believe and know, and some other thing is to experience it…. I wish we can learn!
    ;-D

  • RebeccaWeston replied

    Yep, but all of life is a learning curve and besides.. what would we we write about, if we all knew the answers and stuck to them !
    Thanks for looking in X

    a very tender and telling poem!
    the romance of sharing an ice-cream cone, if it was as easy and as simple as that!

  • RebeccaWeston replied

    I wrote this with a special person in mind but it could never be as easy as this really – the feeling of love is easy to get but the dealing with the rest of it is a little bit more complex!!!

    I love this. If only we could keep your words and emotions expressed here close to our hearts when we need them most. Why is it that our deepest wisdoms fly out the window when we need them most?

  • RebeccaWeston replied

    I’m so sorry – I don’t know how I missed to reply to this amazing comment – if you are still around, Cassey – please accept my apology. Thank you so very much XX

    When you touch, it wakes your heart
