How can love
ever be tough
As it not love that hurts
Love never hurts
Though you seek outside
And you then get wounded by
a mirage of your own
doubtful thoughts
Look within
and you will find
him, your beloved
In a heart that beats
love fearlessly
through your veins
In lungs that breathe
love unapologetically
in and out
In eyes that perceive
love in its purest form
As within so without
See him in the roses
that are still there
even though winter arrived
Feel him in the wind that strokes
your face
Hear him in a bird’s
joyful song at sunrise
And then tell me
if love is tough
