The Melody of Love and Truth

by Oluwaseye Olayode Taiwo   Oct 25, 2025



Love, even when it lies still,
Leaves its fingerprint upon the soul.
A whisper, a memory, a gentle ache —
Proof that it once made us whole.

Trust is a song that breaks but once,
Its rhythm shattered, its lyrics torn.
No rewrite can restore its sound,
Only silence where it was once born.

When truth filled a home like music,
But betrayal dimmed its tune,
The melody must wander onward,
To find another heart, another room.

Forgiveness is not forgetting,
It is remembering without flame.
It is strength that walks through shadows,
And never calls them by their name.

Some songs are born from joy,
Others rise from tears and pain;
But every note, both high and low,
Becomes wisdom’s soft refrain.

Every legend needs its shadows,
A horizon to define its light.
For truth waits quietly in the dark,
Patient for the dawn’s first sight.

The past will always find its way home,
But don’t dwell upon its door.
It is the battlefield of the mind —
Not the place to live anymore.

No matter the ache, seek not closure,
For closure is where songs must end.
Live where the rhythm still dances,
Where melodies heal and hearts mend.

It is never too late to love again.
The right person may be a mile hard to find,
But if you search diligently,
With the voice and sound of your heart,
You will find love waiting for you.

All it takes is patience —
And the courage to love yourself first,
While your heart echoes,
Sending letters of invitation
Of love across the world.
For love, like music, never dies —
It only waits for the right keys to play,
Just as love waits, in tender silence,
For the right heart to come its way.

  • Love, even when it fades or falters, always leaves its fingerprint on the soul.
    Trust is a song that cannot be rewritten once it is broken — its melody forever changed.
    When the music of truth once filled a home but is replaced by the noise of betrayal, the song must seek another place to play, another heart to dwell in.
    Forgiveness is not forgetting; it is remembering without anger. It is the art of releasing pain while keeping the lesson.
    Some songs are born from pure love; others are composed from the echoes of heartbreak and betrayal. Yet both have their place in the symphony of life.
    Every legend must find its horizon beyond the shadows, for within those shadows, truth waits — quietly, patiently — for the light to return.
    The past will always find its way home, but do not dwell there. The past is the battlefield of the mind, not the dwelling place of the soul. Live in the present — it is the only place where peace can breathe.
    No matter the pain, do not live in the confines of closure. Closure is for songs whose rhythm has ended. Live instead in the open, where the music still plays, where new melodies are waiting to be written.
    For love, like music, never truly dies. It only waits for the right keys to play — just as love waits for the right heart to receive it.
