Love's Journeyⓒ

I wrote this late one night while I was pondering all the various things I've experienced about love. I believe there are lessons to be learned from every experience. The next time you think about your past loves, think of the positive aspects, instead of focusing on the negative. It will help you to create a whole person moving forward. After all, you are a whole person created by your life's experiences. They don't define your story, but your story is made up by the sum of all that you've experienced. Why create a story from the bad parts?

As I lay here in my bed,
I travel the hallways of my mind
music floats all around me
I close my eyes and ponder the sweet musings of my love memories
The notes of my love's journey
My first time ~
and the awkwardness of not knowing what to do
the sense of fear, pain and pleasure
I long for the innocence of that moment
and the simplicity of first love
My first real love ~
and the understanding of being truly loved
the sense of experiencing true bliss
I long for the energy and desire of that moment
and the simplicity of pure love
The hallways contain snapshots of other times
First kiss
First true pleasure
Firsts ~ Lasts
Each experience of my love's journey rolls into a ball of joy
thus creating the sweet music that plays in my heart
The chords of my melody
are created from each experience
no note can be left out
I am a complete woman
because of my love song
I am a complete woman because of my love's journey
