you cannot stop your heart
it will love whom it wants
but
there is an unspoken boundary
that is as sacred
as the love that pours forth from it
the self must be respected
the inner spirit must be listened to
it is the narrow gate
that one must enter through
to find
and live
true love

We definitely should be open to love and follow our hearts, but remember to respect and fully love ourselves, too. Great words of wisdom, Johann! 🙂
