love came back when i least expected its help.
it's a lie to think that birds and flowers are happiness.
i love her in all her dark splendor,
not for what you can sell in cards.
i love her for who she is,
for who i am, too.

love came back when i least expected it.
it came back to hold me in the sun.
even in the rain, i was warm and dry.
love came back to fly.
i thank god for another try.
i'm glad love was in her eyes.

love came back when i least expected it.
i never thought i'd know her hand.
and i guess i never will.
but i finally understand.

"i love her in all her dark splendor,"

Indeed, can there not be splendor in the darkness of love? Love how you share your thoughts here, Mike.

just from the grace of that last verse alone ...

All women have a special gland which causes them to ALWAYS do things when they are least expected. We have to live with it.....and. in your case. it sounds like happily
