Love is made but can't be bought,
Love is learned but can't be taught,

Love is life that cannot die,
Love is truth and cannot lie,

Love is how our hearts are freed,
Love is all we'll ever need.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Come with me to our new home,
Far away from where they roam,
On the wings of dragons tamed,
Far above all that’s been named.

Come with me to lift the seal,
Far from all the gods reveal,
Through the hardships still ahead,
Far away from what’s been said.

Come with me to worlds unknown,
Far away from all they own,
On a cloud of dreams we’ve shared,
Far from all that makes you scared.

Come with me to start anew,
Far from all they’ve put us through,
With the light of love to guide,
Far away from where they hide.

Truth is often far from sight,
Truth is seldom without blight,
Truth is in the dark of night,
Truth is in the hand of right,
Truth is that most noble Knight,
Truth is that which drives their fight,
Truth is all that brings us light,
Truth is all that gives us flight.

Two sides of a broken coin,
Living out these lonely days,
Two paths that can never join,
Going on our separate ways,

Two hearts sharing just one beat,
Reaching out with love in mind,
Two souls joined in this defeat,
Wanting what we cannot find,

Too far from what could have been,
Living with what has been done,
Too long cut from this great scene,
Though this could have been the one,

Too late for our show to start,
Promises too hard to break,
Too much love to share a heart,
Choices far too hard to make,

To the team we cannot be,
Though life puts us to the test,
To the dream we’ll never see,
Though the pain still fills my chest,

To the life we’ve never known,
Love was not for you and me,
To the end we walk alone,
For we cannot be set free.

Once we shared a single heart,
Never dreamed we’d be apart,
Found all that we needed here,
Never felt the grip of fear,

Now we share these broken shards,
All this fighting on the cards,
Finding we have nothing left,
All our feelings long bereft,

Once we shared a single life,
Seldom grieved or wept in strife,
Found our days were full of light,
Seldom felt the cold of night,

Now we share this empty life,
Gone the days of man and wife,
Finding secrets in the lies,
Gone the love that glazed our eyes,

Once we shared a single thought,
Always made up when we fought,
Lost ourselves in each embrace,
Always felt there was no race,

Now we share no thoughts at all,
Nothing there to break our fall,
Losing what still kept us friends,
Nothing left when true love ends.

Don’t despair, my saddened friend,
This place is not where you will end,
For life will bring all you desire,
Once you’ve learnt all you require,

Don’t desert, my loyal friend,
This world is not yours to defend,
For life will make its peace with you,
Once you take pride in what you do,

Don’t regret, my lonely friend,
There is no break that cannot mend,
For life will send someone your way,
Once you’ve found the words to say.

This rage that burns beneath my skin,
This shadow over all my kin,

This cloud that hangs above my mind,
This tyrant on those left behind,

This force beyond my heart’s control,
This scar upon my tattered soul.
