Elements of Love

Love is everything
The earth the sea the sky,
It is the sun that shines on us
The clouds that pass us by
It is the very heart of us
The spirit and the soul,
It is the thing dividing us -
Or that which makes us whole

To be fond of someone is to care and hold them in your mind, to love someone is to yearn and hold them in your heart.

You

You are my eternal shining light, the brightness behind a cloudy day, the key to unlock a world of dreams where a vision of heaven can be captured here on earth. You are the pinnacle of my desire and the inspiration for my soul, for no other could replace you, and it is more certain than anything in this world that my love will last always and forever.

Questions

Where would our lives go
Where would our lives be
If from this moment on
There was no you, there was no me ?

Where would all our dreams
Be buried laid to rest
Kept under lock and key
In our secret treasure chest ?

Where would all the laughter
All the fun and love we know
Be stored away so carefully
Where no one else would go ?

How could the world exist
And keep turning day by day
If you and I weren’t here
To help it on its way ?

Maybe these are questions
For which no answers could be clear
And there’s no need to ask them
So long as you are near.

Love has two directions, pain and ecstasy, and both roads may be travelled at the same time.

Eternal Love

If I could be with you every moment of every day of my life It would still not be enough
For the love that I have to give you
Would need a thousand lifetimes
And the happiness we would share would be eternal
