Giving Hearts

So it goes, my heart has spoken
        It gave to you its life to keep
    All wrapped in lace, a lover’s token
        So not to make two lovers weep
    As love shall be our daily prize
        We see its face with our own eyes

    My hand’s outstretched, to now caress
        Each day’s sad darkness from your mind
    To free you, love, from your duress
        And reveal the love that’s there to find
    As hopes and dreams become fulfilled
        Each day so blooms with lovers will

    Upon the banks where souls retreat
        So sought, within our lovers gaze
    It’s there alone, we two shall meet
        To bask in love lights brightest rays
    At last we found our soul mates, true
        Your heart’s now mine as mine’s for you

    To know that then we share this well
        A love complete, no stronger be
    Eternal, my love, our hearts compel
        Us, to share all and forever see
    Our love; forever meant to share
        No greater love beyond compare
