The Truth

by Rachel   Jul 17, 2008


My eyes are swollen with tears
I seek-ed the truth

but when I heard it I wished I hadn't
or I just wished it wasn't the truth

I long to fix this problem and that's
what is gnawing at my heart

I fear that it is no longer in my power
to do anything

so my eyes fill with endless tears
which come with countless questions

is it possible that this is a sign? a sign
that it just wasn't meant to be?

or is it just another bump along the
road that we need to get past?

let's take the high road! cause I
can't imagine life without you

and when I try to imagine it my
heart already begins to feel broken and torn

so let's do it, let's ignore our worries and
doubts, because doubts never did us any good

what has done us good is our love, and you're
what keeps me strong, I need you, I always will

I long to paint your world, our world, with the
colors that I see

please just tell me, but only if it's the truth, tell me that you won't let this split us apart

because I remember now, why I seek-ed the truth
in the first place, and I'm glad I did

because love does not delight in evil but rejoices
in the truth

and so I know that my love for you does not, and will not, chose which truths it delights in

because that is like choosing when to love you, and I always love you

in the hard times just as much as in the easy
because I have hope and faith in us

I believe that one of the reasons God put us
on this Earth was to love

and I know that if love is what we're giving then
we will eventually find favor in Him

and that's the thought that comforts me tonight,
I just need to know that you feel the same

I'll keep hoping if you will, we're always together at heart, let's please not ever forget that
