On Being Loved

I am Loved.

Loved in detail.

Loved in nuance.

I am Loved in –

My brown skin,

My dark hair,

My wide hips,

My sassy flair.

 

I am Loved

In Jealousy

In Hardness.

In Anguish,

And Softness.

 

In Anger and Pain.

In Past and in Present.

Through Victory and Fallacy.

Through Joy and Sorrow.

 

I am Loved.

Most importantly.

Most faithfully.

Most fondly,

and Eternally.

 

If there is nothing else you know.

Know this.

I am Loved.

 

If there is nothing else you know.

So are you.
