Unrequited Love

My Deepest Love,

Divine love keeps me on standby.

Without your love,

I've wondered if I should try to leave you behind

For my mental and emotional well-being.

Nowhere I go, even through outer space, would be far enough to forget you.

Today I thought about how God is always there

Even when people deny Him.

How crushing that must feel,

Yet He stays.

Then I knew I could never leave you behind.

Love,

Janice
