Made for this

We were made for this

To love and be loved

To connect and be connected

We were made for this

To feel the healing touch of a hand

Remind us of what is means to be soothed

To feel the welcoming gaze of a soul

That sees into our own

And does not make us break

Ourselves into lots of separate pieces

Splitting some off

While counting the cost

In suffering

Gone mute

There is no one that can refute

That we were born to feel

And make sense of our feeling

Or else to run

When the truth of our feelings

Is denied

Or we are forced to lie

To gain another’s love

Which never was

In the end

A love worth having
