Defined By Love, Not Mistakes

May 1

Pressure turns coal to diamonds and its ease leads to decadence

With the difference between saying “I’ll know you forever” instead of “I love you”

Lack in the comprehension of the power of articulation

Just a few words can make or break a man’s world

All of our memories compiled into one statement

One word under one belief, one subjective compelling feeling

The strength of what we say, no matter how minuscule it may be

Can change everything

Our world between the worlds are intertwined and defined

Our history can make us who we are but we do not let it

Our love makes us move as one, but separately

We are trees swaying with our branches growing up against each other

And who we are, how we decide to live and breathe changes with the growth of the tree

Our words, our vocation is what helps us not get lost and stop the other from growing

Our world between the worlds stays harmonious

And “I love you” will always keep us going, us growing, us being

Love is pressure and we are the gems

What we decide to do with that love is what delineates its fate

We are defined by love, not mistakes
