    “THE WEATHER OF LOVE


    Love
    Has a way of wilting
    Or blossoming
    At the strangest,
    Most unpredictable hour.
    This is how love is,
    An uncontrollable beast
    In the form of a flower.
    The sun does not always shine on it.
    Nor does the rain always pour on it
    Nor should it always get beaten by a storm.
    Love does not always emit the sweetest scents,
    And sometimes it can sting with its thorns.
    Water it.
    Give it plenty of sunlight.
    Nurture it,
    And the flower of love will
    Outlive you.
    Neglect it or keep dissecting it,
    And its petals will quickly curl up and die.
    This is how love is,
    Perfection is a delusional vision.
    So love the person who loves you
    Unconditionally,
    And abandon the one
    Who only loves you
    Under favorable
    Conditions.”
    ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
