Truth

What is it to be cherished by another?
To feel the want of another for you as you feel for them.
Love is a fickle thing, as slippery as water through a sieve.
Yet, it flows as thick as honey through the veins, although not always as sweet.
Roses, beautiful as they are, have the ability to prick your skin and tear at your flesh; so has love the ability to rip your heart out under the guise of perfumed innocence.
What is it then to be loved by another?
To know the heart of another is only for you as yours is only for them.
But if love be such a fickle thing, why trust in love that it will carry through on it's promise to be true?
I say, do not trust in love. Instead trust in yourself that you are true. Try to find yourself clear of heart and mind and your path will be set clear before you.
Your path, clear and free, will lead you to be cherished and loved both of yourself and of another.
What is it to be cherished and loved by another? The answer lies within yourself. Find the true nature of your heart and you'll find your true happiness.
