Terrestrial

You asked me how I could write of love,
A force so deep and true,
In spite of everything that happened,
Of all the wrongs between me and you.
But darling,
Love, true love, doesn’t leave,
Even if the person might,
And you’ve been in my heart and mind,
In every day and every night.
I want to say that I love you,
But I keep it to “goodnight”,
Because love involves some falling,
And maybe you’re afraid of heights.
Just take my hand, you lovely flame,
And let’s dance our world ablaze,
And let sparks fly as our lips meet,
As we love ’till the end of days.
I must have loved you in another time,
And promised to find you now,
And the cosmos conspired to have us meet,
No matter where or how.
For of all the things I claim to know,
Only this do I solemnly vow,
I have felt for you so much more,
Than one lifetime could ever truly allow.
