If love was air
You’d be my mountain top.
However hard life’s journey
There I’d stop
To rest and feast upon
That fresh, clean, vital spirit.
Renewed I could go on,
My strength restored by it.
If love was warmth
You’d be my sun drenched beach.
The perfect place to sit
And soak up each
And every golden ray;
To find peace deep within
And glow with happiness
The radiance that love brings.
If love was water
You’re my ocean blue.
I’d dive into your depths.
Immersed in you
I’d be content,
Your cooling waves around me wrapped
In such a close embrace
That never could be matched.
If love was music
Then you’d be my song.
A lilting melody
So sweet and strong
I’m filled with hope.
A tune with magic to impart,
As its rhythmic pulse
Beats time with my heart.
If love was life
You’d be my everyday,
Each step, each breath,
Each heart beat on my way;
My very substance, all that goes
To make me me;
The spark at my centre
Defining what I’ll be.
But love is love,
And you my love are mine,
So my heart overflows
With joy sublime.
Our lives, like two cords in one rope,
Entwined together.
We will face our future
Joined in love for ever.
