“Much of life can never be explained but only witnessed.”

After a hurricane in South Africa in 2007. a displaced baby hippo found it’s way into the life of a Giant Male Tortoise. The phenomena was that the animals sought to create “family” and bonded. Tortoise adopted Hippo…..Love is amazing like that.
My Secret
What they thought is true, they are not mistaken.
I had neither the courage nor the strength for confrontations,
But now is the right time to face your opposition.
I know this may seem drastic, but such a necessary step
To wrestle my demons and deal with your judgment.
Someday even without my consent you may find out the truth,
But just like you I am also a man of integrity,
Both honor and nobility reside in me.
So with this, I prefer to tell you face to face.
I would rather that you hear my own words than rely on the possibility.
What I feel for you is not hearsay. It is in fact very real.
I am not the brother you want me to be,
not the partner in boyish antics.
Our fate was not solely sealed by friendship,
but of something more profound.
Never wanted to be just a companion,
I secretly aspired for something more.
My true motives have been suppressed,
carefully hiding my doting stares.
It may seem of me selfish, it was purely out of my control
I am not making excuses trickery was not my intention.
If after this, you decide to change and speak to me never again,
I would try to understand.
If you resolve to cut me off and remove me from your view,
I would attempt to comprehend.
If you choose to forget about me and remove my traces from your memory,
I would sadly accept my destiny.
The choice is yours completely, your verdict it is out of my hands.
I would step aside, honor you wish while regaining my dignity.

LOVE is amazing and splendid. It is full of differences and diversity. It is imperfect and flawed and so very perfect and flawless all at the same time, but regardless of the relationship, be it lovers, or parent-child, the relationship and the emotion is unconditional if its real. Be authentic and genuine and real. Be true to yourself, and be honest with those around you, because when you do, you are set free.
STAND UP STRONG!
