A Potential Love

Spoken Words about loving the potential in someone.

By Emerald EyeViewPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Love… a word and adverb that has been misused and misguided in so many ways; that love should hate itself.

Although it wants to be needed….

We get it, use it and abuse it for our own selfish reasons.

Causing difficulty to decipher real love from illusions.

It may have feel like you found it, because of warm smiles; cool vibes and butterflies.

Not Knowing, that what comes attached is multiple soul ties, trauma, and lies.

Losing yourself deep in it because you trying to fix it.

Conditioning yourself to love unconditionally with certain conditions;

Passing time on folks who shows you potential with no ambition.

For, Potential love, is that what “if” kind of love.

Like what if they change this or what if they change that?

Just Hanging on to possibilities; Hoping that it can possibly grow into a commitment or marriage.

That buying a ring to flaunt an image is not ideal unless the image is seen even by all parties.

Never stay in something where bad habits seem to increase and the peace decrease.

It will Cause a home to collapse like a falling tree.

If questioning yourself on when you should leave?

It’s when you notice that they are still blind to themselves with no attempt to want to see clearly.

So, Learn and practice to love yourself healthy and watch how you attract another who’s doing the same.

Cuz the journey to real love is full of illusions; and it’s a lot of players playing the game.

So, follow your heart; and take your mind with you!

Believe in those red flags; that’s gone protect you!

&

Move on God’s time; that’s who Blesses you.
