a love like this

a love like this

is a special gift

it is a balm that brings the healing calm

of knowing someone feels for you

a depth of tenderness

you never felt

either possible or true

a love like this

will also tend

to open up deep inside

all of the sore and hurting places

left by scars of heartbreak

before

why is it that each time

the demon of mistrust

tempts my heart to burn to ash

all of the specialness between us

my whole being hurts

I do not know

but perhaps some souls are

so completely bound

that even from great distance

they feel each other’s heartache

I know you undergo every day

things you fear to tell me

but my love if this is love

you have to tell me everything

because when you keep it quiet

somewhere deep inside my soul

i feel it

and then I draw the wrong conclusion

and by god the confusion

i never want to feel again

the agony of what that does to you

for if I know one thing by now

your heart is true

and your love to me is

so completely

so utterly

precious
