to be loved

a poem.

to be loved
is to be known —
to be known intimately,
to be understood,
to be acknowledged.

to be loved
is to be held —
to be soothed,
to be caressed,
to be comforted.

to be loved
is to trust —
to be trusted,
to trust in them,
to believe,
to hope.

to be loved
is to be loved —
fully, 
completely,
passionately,
compromisingly.

to be loved
is something i 
would love to be.
