Love does not say,
“I am now PERFECT,

for such makes love conditional
upon one’s perfection,
and makes the beloved proud and arrogant

And then I thought, what I really wanted is freedom, I just wanted to be free… free to wake up late and enjoy the morning, free to spend my time with my loved ones, free to travel, free to pray, free to play, free to help other people along the way. I wanted to be free, I wanted to be more free to love.

On the other hand, maybe the true reason is this: I write it because I wanted to be heard, I wanted to know - that I am not invisible.
