Of Love...

I don’t know why I thought of you all of a sudden…
It was just a plain love song – sad yet full of hope
Could it be that, despite our distance, you are thinking of me, too?
Are you happy now? You better be.
Because your happiness is my strength in holding on to this separation
I live each day thinking that life is kind to you; that you are always smiling now
I’d rather have you from a distance, praying for you
and loving you in the silence of my heart
Rather than live each day beside you, yet helpless to ease your pain and sadness
I haven’t seen your face in a long time
But at least I hold with me the memory of your smile’s warmth
I’ll keep it that way and then I’ll live each day with happy thoughts of you, of us.
Maybe in some other lifetime, in some other fate
We’ll find our way back to each other
But for now, we’ll live the present loving from a distance
God’s angels will protect you when I can’t be beside you
As for me, I’ll keep you in my heart – the only place no one would ever find
For in my heart, I can love you as much as I want without anyone knowing it
And then I’ll smile and try to be happy
I’ll be thankful that in this lifetime, our paths have crossed and we are never the same again.
I have your love here with me, safe and tucked safely in the silence of the night
Be strong for us but when you cannot hold on anymore, come back to me;
Come back to me and cry
I'll close my eyes and turn around, so you can shed the tears you so bravely tried to hide from the world
And then I'll shed my own tears
Because your pain is my pain, and your tears are pieces of my soul
We are but one heart and soul
And when that day comes, we'll never let go so God help us
Let the world and all its chaos burn, but we'll never let go - not ever again.
So be strong, love; hold on.

I love you.
