LOVE IS LIKE WATER by Jaime Rodriguez

LOVE IS LIKE WATER by Jaime Rodriguez

Love is like water

You can not grasp it 

you can not contain it

If you try to imprison it

it turns into vapor an escapes

if you try to possess it

it runs through your fingers

if you don't give it your warmth

it freezes and turns into ice 

Love is the joining of two rivers

together, yet free

inseparable, yet independent

different, yet the same

soft, yet strong

gentle, yet powerful,

always flowing 

Swim against its current

and it will drown you

Resist it or fight it, 

and it will drag you and hurt you

Drink from it continuously,

and it will overwhelm and choke you

Don't resist and it will gently carry you 

Don't fight it and it will make you weightless

Don't try to stop it and it will caress and cleanse your soul

Listen to it and it will bring you peace

Don't try to force it, submit to it, give in

Become one with it
