Love

We sometimes meet people who we think can satisfy us and then it turns out that they can't . We at times fall so hard for people not knowing if they have fallen equally hard for us in turn, or hardly caring. At the most unexpected times, we look love right in the face not knowing what we are seeing, and we continue to search for it...

Love usually does not come in the forms we dream of. I saw a TV show about a girl born with disfigured legs which had to be amputated. She grew intoa a legless woman who was fierce and lived life to the fullest as much as she could. She was surrounded by a loving family and when she grew into a woman, she found love (or love found her). A man with legs, fully functional with his full mental capacities saw the value in her and loved her for who she was inside, not what she looked like on the outside. This legless woman and her man were married and on top of everything she conceived and bore a son.

I asked myself how it is that I couldn't find a man, but this legless woman could? It came down to Love. I do have a love that has been in my face for the last four years but I have chosen to put him on hold in hopes that I would find a more "perfect" fit for me. Will I ever? Perhaps he is the "perfect" one and I'm ignoring this. I wonder if I've put my own love on hold while I hold out for something else. I want to be like that legless woman.
