OUR LOVE IS PATIENT

To a heart as full of love as mine

even the sure ravages of Time

only serve to magnify the dreams I have.

Although apart Love's Hope and need shine through.



There is no grave for a love this deep,

and every day opens a new door onto my wish

that we will always draw close and closer.



unexpressable thrills rise as we come nearer

to sharing the culmination of love we have cherished

since first feeling the devotion which had been

out of sight of mortal senses for so long.



Yet love never died or faded.

It is not a finite thing.  It is bigger

than us both, for evermore.



No-one lives forever, but the Love of lovers does.



Tender Love makes agile the quests of the heart;

hungering love makes fragile etchings of its art.



Love stands, not idle, but aching, hoping

we'll never have to part.  Words can't be enough.



Je t'aime.
