Emotional Rescue...

Love is a four letter word...
There was a time when it caused me pain...
I hated it...
Maybe hate is too strong a word...
But I certainly didn't like it...
And now, over time I'm starting to like it again...
Perhaps one day soon I'll be able to adore it...
Because over time I'm no longer feeling a heavy heart...
At one point my heart felt like a hunk of lead in my chest...
Now it is starting to lighten...
Perhaps someday soon it soon...
It will feel like a helium balloon...
What surprises me the most...
Is how easily it has lightened...
All it took was one or two sweet smiles from across the room...
A few glances with a twinkling eye...
The only thing is I didn't realize that these little things...
Were lightening my heart...
