Love and He

Love and He

He: "Who are you?"
 
Love: "I am love."
 
He: "What are you."
 
Love: "I am the self-portrait 
of anyone brave enough 
to make a gift of me
to another."
 
He: "But I don't have you.  
How can I give 
what I don't have?"

Love: "That's my paradox.
You cannot have me
until you give me."

He: "But it makes no sense.
And why brave?"

Love: "It takes courage 
to conquer the fear
of not having me."

He: "I'm lost.
When will I be found?"

Love: "When you can give me
to one who may not want me."
