This love, This Love I Have For You

by Glenn G   Nov 15, 2015


I once thought love was a part of life that was just a waste
I'd felt it many times but only in small tastes
I wondered what someone could give me or add to my life
I had my independence, my freedom by day and by night
I found myself happy and driven by self-purpose
Before I met you I felt completely worthless

You opened a door I didn't know could exist
One in which you owned my heart, my soul and all of their contents
I couldn't understand why I no longer felt full
And why sex and love from many suddenly became dull
How can so much happiness be brought by only one
A smile, some joy and days full of fun
Suddenly the attention from many meant very little
While the attention of only one became so substantial

This must surely be the love I never knew
The life with a purpose where one plus one make two
While days go slowly and memories accrue
When we are apart I feel so blue
This love, this love I have for you

    Hi Glenn
    Yes, when we meet that 'one' it's a real game changer, isn't it? Suddenly everything else you've done seems like a waste of time and hollow. I like the message in this and it reads wonderfully, in terms of the flow.
    All the very best,
    Ben
