Love for love.
Love for love's sake.
Love for the promises
you know you'll break.
Love for the way
you feel empty inside.
Love for the bitter,
cold tears you have cried.

Love because you know
it's all you can give.
Love because you have
just one life to live.
Love because you will
make many mistakes.
Love because you know
how hard your heart breaks.

Love in spite of
the distractions and cares.
Love in spite of
all these earthly affairs.
Love through the suffering.
Love through the pain.
Love through the fear
of ne'er seeing light again.
Love though your joy
has all but disappeared.
Love though your prayer
seems to fall on deaf ears.

Love because you have
been counted as whole.
Love because it's ingrained
into your soul.

Love for love.
Love what is true.
Love because it has
been done unto you.
