Love to Express

29 July 2006


I truly love you
because I do not know
any other way
My heart stands still
to think those thoughts of you

When you say you are not right for me
and perhaps that in you, - you can decide
Only what was ever fair in this way of desire

I truly love you, as if I could never tell a lie
or maybe love was never meant to be like this
To reach out, to want to understand
what these feelings are, I am unable to hide

From the first day, our hearts crossed the world
to the doubt I had, to have come this far
And wanting to continue to walk right along
every day, every moment of breath
To truly love you, if only from
this in ways of love to express

“for Carolyn”


“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us,
and hath given himself for us an offering and
a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.”
Ephesians 5: 2 KJV
