The feeling beyond completing an empty soul,
But fills inside and out.
The feeling beyond being valued,
But cherished so preciously.
The feeling beyond being respected,
But honored at all times.
The feeling beyond being hoped,
But prayed for so fervently.
The feeling beyond being adored,
But wanted unconditionally.
The feeling beyond being dreamed of,
But ached for so ardently.
To love
And be loved
Always and forever–
Aren’t the rudiments,
But the powers of love
That last a lifetime.
