I Can'T Love Someone Else

I can't love someone else, i don't think
                      you understand.
                        You are the only you upon this land.
                      Meeting for the first time is a date, and 
                      more is the plan.
                        There's no preparation for what's next
                      at hand.
                        Only thoughts and dreams of what we
                      hope to happen.
                        Love, respect, trust, loyalty and harmony.
                     Progress building the foundation of what
                     we seek. 
                        Happy days, peace, companionship and love.
                     Off the ground, past the clouds, to the
                     heavens above.
                        But for success, a challenge must be
                     introduced.
                        No plan, no script, just a storm coming
                     through.
                        One that tests the will, and intestinal
                     fortitude.
                        Rain, thunder, lightning, and winds of
                     dysfunction.
                        All the work to build, threatened by
                     destruction.
                        It will sway, it will bend, without breaking 
                     the assertion.
                        The fight, the need, validating the purpose.
                     We must run the race, no matter the surface.
                        I can't love someone else, what would be
                     the purpose.
                        They will not have your name, or face 
                     to match.
                        Your eyes, your lips, your nose, in fact.
                     Your smile, your laugh, your touch, no one
                     can reenact.
                        Your voice, your scent, only you was born 
                     with that.
                        The way you walk, or chew, it's distinct
                     to only you.
                        Your aura, and your grace can not be
                     replaced.
                        Your DNA separates you from the rest of 
                     the human race.
                        Whatever the outcome, i will face it 
                     like a man.
                        I can't love someone else, i don't think
                     you understand.
