take out all the things that do not make up love; remove envy, malice, enmity, competition, and distrust; empty it, of all the evil irritants, that surround its perimeter; maybe, even operate on it, surgically, removing deep-seated ills; what's left of it? wouldn't it be all that's relevant and good? yet, what if nothing else stays? what if all has been tainted, too? what remains of it, then? what persists as due? won't it be two? as real as two can get; one is i, the other is you; completing the equation of i plus you equals love, holds true. #love #true #equation #remains #yqbaba
