Living to Love
I live to love annd I love to live
For this reason I have been working on
the restoration of my heart.

Yes my Heart!
That thing which beats so strongly.
That muscle which is so important to every part of your body.
That fragile masterpiece which you're told NEVER to think with.

Yes my Heart!
That which was broken then frozen.
It's been thawed and for a while God's been performing heart surgery.
I've been getting my heart back together
Preparing myself for love.

Yes Love!
That awesome emotion which is joy and pain;
smiles and tears
today, tomorrow and forever!
That wonderful feeling which I'm finally opening myself to.

Yes Love!
What a word.
One which I can now finally use without having to hold back the tears.
The word I'm now able to use with men.

Yes Men!
Those wonderful creatures that
I'll never understand
always jokingly abuse and
continue to enjoy.
The other half to which I no longer fear.

Yes men!
Yes love! Yes my heart!
Yes I live!
I live because I love and because of that love I live!
