Words from Aisha
I used to think love was born
Like a baby on fire
Out of a need to satisfy
The simple human urge
Of finding meaning
Now i see that love
Is earned and
Cultivated
Throughout years of hard work
Longing and yearning
Now i see that love
Is the person next to you in line
The person you meet on the first day of class
The one you don’t know yet
And the one you do
Now i see that love fights for you
And you fight back.
