Loving you taught me.
Loving you taught me the art of patience,
The nobility of waiting and the purity of hope.
And the excitement of all the possibilities
Can make a grown man into a child once more.

There is strength in vulnerability and thrill in uncertainty,
And longing shows love's sincerity.
The feelings of grief, sorrow, and heartache
Are the essence of love's epitome.

And in love, there is delight, joy, and ecstasy.
There, you will find suffering, agony, and misery too.
But love is an emotion worthy of life.
It is a beautiful chaos, not for the faint of heart.

And through loving you, I learned
That the feeling of love in itself is complete,
Even though one-sided, although unrequited,
It's still mine and only mine, a treasure that belongs to me,
That none can take away,
None can ever take away from me.
