if i should die this very moment
i wouldn't fear
for i've never known completeness
like being here
wrapped in the warmth of you
loving every breath of you
still my heart this moment
or it might burst
could we stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
wanna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
all this time i've loved you
and never known your face
all this time i've missed you
and searched this human race
here is true peace
here my heart knows calm
safe in your soul
bathed in your sighs
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
all i've known
all i've done
all i've felt was leading to this
all i've known
all i've done
all i've felt was leading to this
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for...
i wouldn't fear
for i've never known completeness
like being here
wrapped in the warmth of you
loving every breath of you
still my heart this moment
or it might burst
could we stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
wanna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
all this time i've loved you
and never known your face
all this time i've missed you
and searched this human race
here is true peace
here my heart knows calm
safe in your soul
bathed in your sighs
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
all i've known
all i've done
all i've felt was leading to this
all i've known
all i've done
all i've felt was leading to this
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
wanna stay right here
'til the end of time, 'til the earth stops turning
gonna love you 'til the seas run dry
i've found the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for
the one i've waited for...
- Gorecki, Lamb
An oldie, but that's about all I can think of when it comes to the season of love, Valentines and Hallmarky goodness/badness/pondering the meaning of life and love/realising that there is one who you feel your soul reaching out to and hoping you can squish a lid on that quickly as nothing is ever likely to happen/wondering whether it's star-crossedness or delusional madness.
Love. Such an odd thing.

Love is bigger than I realize... I wonder if it secretly drives the world. I don't think Valentine's Day does love much justice, but poetry like this is a definitely a step in the right direction!
Mm, Valentine's Day is a bit over-marketed to be able to do real love justice unfortunately (although the story of St Valentine is quite sadly sweet).
Love really is such a big thing, there are so many different kinds, and it'd be good if it did drive the world more in terms of nations and people showing respect and care more often for each other :)
i wish i had love like this person has. everyone thinks love is valentines day and red. but it tears you apart. i dont understand love. i think more people should write poetry like this.
