[hometext] => Reflecting on my first and only serious relationship... and sharing God's wisdom on it
[bodytext] => Stolen kisses and whispers of love
Heated arguments and biting words
Reopening healing wounds
Tearing more
And pouring on the salt
To make them burn
Racing back to one another's arms
Clinging to the hope
That to the other we were "the one"
Then the salve of puppy love
To make wounds scab over
Fall off
The process began again
And again
It wasn't love
It was control
Not for you
But for me
For us both
Wanting so badly
To make it work
But it couldn't
It's not love
When you seek your own
It's not love
When deep down you hate
That you can't let go
Though you see
It's not working
It never will
It's sinking
In a cesspool of despair
Created by our drama
And our passion
And self-righteousness
Pity young lovers
Clinging to a vain hope
That young love failing
Without God's blessing
Will work after all
But there is no hope
When you seek your own
And not the Lord.
Jesus help our finite blinded eyes to see
Love is sacrifice
Love is a choice
Love is from You
And should reflect You.
Thank you the wisdom to let go
And now I see
That it was not love
And was not meant to be.
Help me to know Lord
Your perfect will
That Love is not Love
If it is not in Your control.

Brilliant! This is very eloquent and vivid. Bright on the surface, but also very deep, with those difficult lessons learned in the dark times youth throws our way. This piece relates them well.
It's as I always say - True Love is selflessness.
*applauds* Well done, Emily!

Amazing! You definitely soaked up as much wisdom from that relationship as you possibly could. I'm very impressed with all of the things that you've learned about TRUE love. And you're priorities are definitely in order. And I'll simply repeat myself...AMAZING!
