You may not know this, but when they tell you you’re incapable of love, they mean that they are the ones incapable of love. 

They walk around with ticking clocks in their chests, instead of beating heart’s pumping life through their veins. 

Slowly ticking off their days where they will eventually cry out for mercy, for forgiveness for all the sins they have committed. 

You may not know this, but you are more than capable of doing better for yourself than they ever did for themselves, and that makes them bitter.

They bury God’s commandments when it doesn’t suit them, and place them on display to show their “goodness” only when they have to play a part and show society their two-faced illusion of what “good people” look like. 

Tick-Tock, tick-tock it’s time to face God instead of the idol they have created for “appearance sake.”

You may not know this, but you are the beauty that comes from all the brokenness you have experienced and seen. 

This fact stokes their fires to immediately hate because they know their clocks are just cold coils that will rust out when their time is up. Not every tin man is worth the oil. 

Then there’s your heart. You may not know this, but you are growing, budding from their entanglement of false thorny threats. 

You are trying to grow your heart, and better yourself, and as I watch you bud and grow in full bloom. 

You may not know this, but I am so proud of you. 

I hope you continue to allow me to help you grow and rise above them, as they all fall broken-just useless, and dull metal.

You may not know this, but your beautiful garden within your chest-your heart is my home that I hope to hold onto for a thousand lifetimes to come.

You may not know this, but I don’t just want to help you rise and sour. I want to see you streak and never burn out. 

Forever shine no matter how dark your sky may get.

You may not know this, but I’d love to share your sky with you, and set it ablaze with bright flames of fire to fight with you and keep it aglow in love’s light-in daylight. 

You may not know this, but you are more than capable of things you can’t even imagine yet.

I’d love to help you create and imagine beyond ordinary thought. 

Making the every-day, and ordinary feel extraordinary with love at the center of it all. 

You are more than capable of love, please remember this.

And if you should ever forget this, I’ll be there to remind you.

“You may not know this, but you are capable of love.”
