Transcript

True love is to surrender to every inch of past hurt,

To every splash of joy,

To ups and downs and every moment in time,

Because I love you.

True love is to surrender to that vulnerable heart of me that wants to beat just for you,

But knows it needs to beat also for me,

Because I love you.

True love is to surrender all superficial ideas about what love is.

It is just to love you so dearly,

Here and now and always,

With braveness in my heart,

Because I love you.

Reviews

I loved this short but profound poem - Yes, surrendering is a BIG word to act upon. However, Unconditional Love is even grander - I love saying those 3-little words - ‘ I love you - [unconditionally]’ - ❣️🔥♥️

Thank.You, dear Femke, for this little, delicious and loving gift 🙏🤍

❤️🌻

This is a fabulous way of scattering love across the pages of my day💓. Thank you, dear Femke for sharing your love poems. 🙏🏻✍🏼💘
