How do you heal
When my love feels unreal
How can you reassure
Our love when there is no cure
Why do you continue to try
Even when you know that I lie
How have you developed this love
To always rise above
I’ve long said it’s you I treasure
But it’s not only for the pleasure
For your spirit I admire
Of perseverance you never tire
Can you teach me how you do
So that I can love you in that way, too
Or is it beauty internal
That aids you in moments so infernal
Is it simply who you are
That makes your forgiveness stretch so far
Tell me lover, I must know
For I must repay you, I promised you so
But that is love’s eternal question
I cannot repay your affection
For it was freely given to me
It comes with no strings, no fee
I guess that is the greatest gift
To take one’s heart and to lift
Above all the trauma and strife
Above all the dirtiness of life
And even though by the one you love you’ve been hurt
Every time you fish our fractured love from the dirt
And with astounding selflessness, you repair
Our broken love, so that I need not despair
I know that I have struggled and done you wrong
I know that you need more than a simple song
Or another line about how you light up my days
No, I must learn to love and cherish you in new ways
So today, down the everlasting journey I start
With a vow that I never again will hurt your heart
And with a smile of contentedness and glee
I can promise a better future, for you and me
I love you so much that you need never fear
For wherever you go, I will follow, my dear
So today, a memorial and a start anew
For a relationship rebuilt and a love so true
When my love feels unreal
How can you reassure
Our love when there is no cure
Why do you continue to try
Even when you know that I lie
How have you developed this love
To always rise above
I’ve long said it’s you I treasure
But it’s not only for the pleasure
For your spirit I admire
Of perseverance you never tire
Can you teach me how you do
So that I can love you in that way, too
Or is it beauty internal
That aids you in moments so infernal
Is it simply who you are
That makes your forgiveness stretch so far
Tell me lover, I must know
For I must repay you, I promised you so
But that is love’s eternal question
