The Difference Between Poem by Eric Cockrell

The Difference Between

Rating: 5.0


the difference between
telling someone:
'i love you...'

and really loving them
lies in the willingness
to risk everything

you think you have
in order to give them
what they really need

whether it includes you,
or not!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

to love greatly is to risk greatly and 'better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all' to love and give what another really needs, regardless of whether that includes you or not, this is truly giving unselfishly, the classic 'if you love something, let it go, if it comes back to you it is yours, if it doesn't it never was' beautiful brevity in refined thought in this one
