love is like a maze

Love is like traversing a maze…
There are so many false starts,
So many abrupt dead-ends,
So many tantalizing glimpses of the end in sight,
Before you actually find the right path to take.

Growing that love is like building a maze…
You have to work hard to build the foundations,
To nourish the growing seeds within,
To develop the length and breadth of it,
Before you know that you have something solid and worthy.

Sustaining that love is like maintaining a maze…
It needs consideration to remain alive and well,
It needs a healthy dose of respect to understand its mysteries,
It needs careful pruning to ensure it doesn’t become wild and unruly,
Before you are confident that what you have together meets your expectations.
