Love is not the conquest of being one with another
It is about celebrating each other’s differences
And admiring each other’s energies
When I am me and you are you
And we give each other the space to be me and to be you
That is when love flourishes
That is when love flourishes
Don’t get gender into this
Don’t get societal conditioning into what is my role and what is your role
Stand up to be the equal partner
And make your spouse as equal
When I am me and you are you
And we give each other the space to be me and to be you
That is when love flourishes
Equal doesn’t mean you “allow” them to do what is rightfully theirs
Equal doesn’t mean that you “give them permission” for what any human being should hold it as their right
Equal means that you respect, make them feel worthy, make them feel loved
Equal means when you give them the space to flower into their own
Without making it seem like a favour
When you create circumstances for me to be me and you to be you
And we give each other the space to be me and to be you
That is when love flourishes
Kindness should never be killed by ego
Compassion should never be killed by pride
Love should never be killed by social conditioning
If you can’t face the world with your brave love
If you fear what people will say because you’re kind
Then stay on the side and acknowledge defeat
Because your soul is not strong enough to face the false conditioning of society
And your love is not strong enough to fight it
In those circumstances, step away
Let me be me and you be you
And let love flourish without us being together
We will still make a better world
Than fight every day and cry every night
