Dare to Love

I know that love exists, for my heart is full,
A quiet, endless river, steady yet powerful.
Though the world, in its harshness, may deny,
I carry love gently, like a whisper to the sky.

And though the world is not kind, I will be,
A beacon of warmth in a cold, bitter sea.
I live by this truth, I hold it close,
In every step, in every word I chose.

I can’t understand why it’s met with disdain,
When love is my compass, through joy and through pain.
When I cast my vote with hope, and heart,
Believing in unity, where hatred falls apart.

I dare to believe, I dare to dream,
To live with love, no matter how extreme.
I dare to hold you, the one I adore,
In a world that questions what we fight for.

I dare to love, to stand in the storm,
To nurture the bond that makes life warm.
Yet still, they doubt, still they reject,
What I hold so sacred, they choose to neglect.

But I’ll stand here, unwavering and true,
For I know my heart, and I know you too.
Love cannot be broken by mere words or scorn,
It’s a force, everlasting, in which we are reborn.
