Love

When you'd walk through the fire to keep

The desire to remain as it is in the beginning

You know, when you first start dating

When you'd walk through the fire to keep

The desire to be so sweetly unique

When you'd swim across the deepest oceans

Knowing you can barely swim and are afraid of drowning

Just to get close to their love

The love that is unconditional

The love that would encourage you to be strong

In moments of uncertainty

Love pulls you in close

You burrow yourself into its chest

Nestled safely

Listening to the rhythmic sound

Of Love's heartbeat Thump thump thump thump

Thump thump

You gaze up

Things have changed

Some times aren't easy

Some times aren't nice

Love shouldn't be this hard

Why when I try to envision your face?

From my mind, the memories don't place

Like the taste of your lips

Never once kissed

Still, it is you that I miss

Does your love for me, from your heart escape?

Loving isn't supposed to be categorized as complicated

Why as people do we make it so damn hard?

When loving me got you this far

I ask myself over and over again

Marcia, why is it that we just can't be friends?

Is it that I love you entirely too much?

Is it that I can't live and breathe without your touch?

When the efforts that you give aren't enough

The pain increases

Like decreases

Leaving us in restless sleep

Forgiveness are words that we speak

Loving is supposed to be easy

So why do we make it so damn hard?

When loving you got me this far

Forgiveness are words that we speak

But are these words that we actually feel?

Starting to feel as if your mind's record is stuck on sorry

Performing unforgivable offenses

Solely because you know I will say okay

God is love

If only we could have loved each other His way

The righteous thing is to forgive you

He has forgiven me

Unfortunately, I haven't conquered forgiveness past my words

To the point that I can forgive you

I just no longer would walk through the fire of desire for you

No longer would I swim across the world for you

Love

l don't desire the kind of love where you would die for me

On several occasions, I nearly died for the lies of you

Living for another individual is 10 times harder

Would you live for me?

Would you live your life to its fullest, for me?

I'll do you one even better, for yourself

Would you live for you?

Live Love Laugh for you

First, then you can properly love the next

Praying for the wisdom of love's forgiveness

To forgive and forget an ex
