Love is Simple

Sitting by the pond on a brisk, sunny afternoon in October, she said, "Have I changed your life? I don't mean that you live in a nicer place because of me, or you eat better food...I mean..." She paused....he looked at her and said, "I know what you mean, yes, you have changed my life. You are my life. I am a better person because of you." She reached out to him, and returned those same words to him, for they were welling up inside. They held each other and watched the autumn wind blow through the red, yellow and orange leaves. They stood there together and defied the winds and rain and storms that lay just beyond the blue skies of that beautiful day.

They had helped each other to become better people because of their love and acceptance. Love is simple. It uplifts, it restores and it calms.

Love is simple. If it's not...then it's not love. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
