Could you ever love with an expiration date

Still carry on when separation will be your fate

Temporary exaltation to venture into this affair

Get so deeply imbued in someone before despair

Understand that it is an impossibility

An emotional investment without consistency

Need one that will dive rather than just tests waters

It is no great story, if you don't give yourself entirely

Love is believing in forever

Risk yourself and losing your barrier

All that's frightening pushes for commitment

But what you get in return is enlightenment

An inspiration in everything you do

And a heightened sense of feelings too

I love you does not seek a happy end

But a path that simply does not end
