Love that I seek
Love that I wish
Eludes me now
And maybe
Forever as I
Have defied it

Too wet behind the ears
Blissfully ignorant
To understand what it meant
When I took the decision
I have come to wish undone
Naive and unaware
Grew to realize
The precious reason
Why patience exists

To love is a gift
To be loved is a blessing
The love that makes you cry
'Cos your heart is whole
Robust vitality flowing through
Unbridled euphoria
Feeling Full and light
At the same moment
Heartbeats echoing together

Emotionally secure in
The love you share

I have peeked a glimpse of this
I have wished deeply for this
I have conceded that for this
Love to reach me in this
Life, I may have to be reborn
