Love Wins

I never felt like that before.

I couldn’t breathe.

How dare they say that?

If I am allowed to love a man,

than why I am not allowed to love a women?

They don’t see that they are wrong,

maybe they never will.

I guess that doesn’t really matter.

But it made me hurt anyway.

It was like a punch in the gut

I couldn’t catch my breath.

Every inhale was accompanied with pain.

How could someone say that?

I would never understand.

I don’t have to understand them,

if they don’t have to understand me.

They don’t even have to accept it.

I just want them to get over it.

I remind myself that what they say doesn’t matter.

We don’t have to be angry,

even if we are so passionate

Justice has been served

as it always will be.

Love is love,

it will be cherished in the deepest parts of our hearts

no matter who we love,

And that is what burns into us.

We don’t have to argue.

We don’t have to fight.

We can all just get over it.

Love wins because it will always find a way.

Author's Note

Love is love. It's hard to just get over something that so many are passionate about and I found that even in a normal conversation so many can be so greatly affected. I found it hard to accept that we don't have to be angry. We can just move on and I can know that love will always win because it finds a way.

I agree.
"We don’t have to argue.

True and real love can always win if we allow it. Thank you Brittany for sharing the excellent poetry.
