To Love someone is love itself
it is breath, it is life.
To Love is when you throw your
heart away, and hope that it is given back.
To Love is the sweetest dream,
hoping you never wake up.
to be able To Love is God’s gift to you
to me, to the world as it be.

In Love we see ourselves,
clearer than empty skies.
In Love we feel closer to the ocean,
the wind, and the mountains.
In Love we leap without looking,
hoping our heart catches on something real.
to be In Love is God’s gift to you,
to me, to the world as it be.

To Have Loved shows you,
the deep capacity of your soul.
To Have Loved is a way of knowing,
the world with its blackness and brightness.
To Have Loved someone dearly, with
your whole being is the essence of existence.
To Have Loved anyone at all, is God’s gift
to you, to me, to the world as it be.
