I love you.
  Not because the valley floor is growing greener by the hour
  and not because flowers bloom after April showers,
  I live you.
  Not knowing that every breath I breathe could be my last
  and embracing the future like I have had no past. . .
  I long for every song that is sang in your heart
  and every melody from the highest mountain of your soul.
  The wind can't sweep you away from my mind
  and even the wisest can't compete with everything I know.

  I'm forgetting the sun can never touch the moon
  and that the sky keeps them apart.
  I forget Earth can't be friends with Neptune
  and India will never visit Madagascar.
  And every place I am I cannot be somewhere else.

  I forget that time keeps us apart.
  I can't be close to you
  For it's written in the stars for you to be distant from my heart.

  A bird will never be a tree
  and a tree never a cloud
  and silence will always be quiet, for quiet can never be loud.

  I forget that a Mormon will not love a Buddhist
  the tough must be tough, for the soft is called softer.
  and even fairy tales aren't always Happily Ever After.

  I love you.
  Not because I am trying to put one with one to equal two.
  Not because I am trying to trick fate into putting me closer to you.
  I live you.
  Not because I am trying to take a skip over time,
  but because you are forever in my body, soul, and mind.
  And I love you.
  Not because I want to point destiny as a fool,
  But because the one thing I won't forget, will always be you.
