Ready to Love

　 Sometimes it takes adverse conditions

　　for people to reach out to one another

　　Sometimes it takes bad luck

　　for people to understand their goals better

　　Sometimes it takes a storm

　　for people to appreciate the calm

　　Sometimes it takes being hurt

　　for people to be more sensitive to feelings

　　Sometimes it takes doubt

　　for people to trust one another

　　Sometimes it takes seclusion

　　for people to find out who they really are

　　Sometimes it takes disillusionment

　　for people to become informed

　　Sometimes it takes feeling nothing

　　for people to feel everything

　　Sometimes it takes our emotions and feelings to be completely penetrated

　　for people to open up to love

　　I have gone through many of these things

　　and I now know that

　　not only am I ready to

　　love you

　　but I do
