A love I have known for
         so many years
        that it feels like home.

A love that speaks so many
         things my words
          can never say.

A love that turns night into day
        and gives me confidence
   when no one is around and
         mine is gone.

A love that came back to
      me after being gone
         for so long.

A love so rare that to let  it
     slip away from me
        I don't dare.

And so my words about her fall like raindrops so she can dance in the rain knowing that my love is a love so rare.
