Love Has Many Faces

She speaks to him and he does not hear.
She loves him and he does not feel.
She questions him and he gives no answer.
With him, she is alone.

And so, the memories of yesterday she relives again.

All memories have a place in the heart.
Yet, to live in the past will invite no future.

There will be others who will give love,
and others who need our love.

And so, the heart will go on with purpose.
But if that purpose requires change,
you must change to grow. . . .

As love will.
