This Love

This Love

This Love I once distained 

Got a hold of me once more

Tried to deny it, yet constrained

To hug it more than ever before

Certainly its got a hold of me

While I wished I could refrained

A profusion in me, I can't be free

One moment left in restraint

Effortless to it, all can see

This Love I tried to hide

Not to show how much I care

Yet I hear it says, "I'm here, deep inside" 

Can't escape me anywhere 

Cause this gift that's me

Is needed, now you can be free

Free to explore, free to love more

For to truly exist, to live, one must love

To know the joy and the pain

To bask in her again and again 

This Love I have for you 

Is now mine, I must confessed

Locked away in my mysterious mind 

It can't be hidden, but expressed 

Is unlocked by this key I find

A way to show you how this love

While pure and selfless, truly's priceless 

Comes not from earth, but above

It's touched my life as no other

This love is forever my life

I live and breathe it now

Amidst a life torn by strife

It gets me through each day somehow

To love like this makes all better

So I'll keep on living, loving

For loving you is all that matters

Now I understand what's the joy of living

It's the essence of existence, it's giving

This breath, This love
