You, My Love

You, my love, cannot stay in my arms forever.

                                                Life beckons us different ways,

But when the wheel of the Universe turns on its axis

And we find ourselves face to face, hand in hand,

These are the things i hope for us:

That the grace of God will cover us like the stars blanket the sky,

And we will find freedom in each other.

Our pasts will fall away until they're just pretty lights in the distance

And we're both exactly what we knew we'd be, what we always wanted to be:

Pure and light and happy, every word that passes between us a simple token of appreciation,

Every kiss a gift we know we deserve.

We'll be so full of self love and self respect

Anyone that sees us or talks to us will glow inside,

Full of joy at our obvious total enjoyment of each other. 

I’ve so many things i want to tell you, stories to share and songs to play,

Movies to see and stars to watch, questions to ask and places to go.

The days will stretch long and the nights will never end,

We'll be lovers and best friends, close like two shirts hanging in a closet,

And apart like two trees in the same forest,

Like two stars in the same constellation,

In total awe of each other's beauty but notbecoming each other. 

These are the things i hope for us, 

Even though you, my love, cannot stay in my arms forever.
