Puppy love* was not the gas that engines
It's not the years that count
Not the maturity of the love birds
Neither the values of who moves the rudder.

The passion for love I *resist
The willingness to submit
I have declined and neglected
Past relationships, past has gone.

I found the love that's genuine
Not when I opened up my heart
It doesn't beat with the usual hum
Neither doesn not resonate
With the drunken and fake world's lullabye.

What then is love?
For me, it's unfailing
For the cross has taught me so.

I then love
Because He first loved me
It was a love full of compassion
With forgiveness of what I've done wrong.

It was a love that's eternal
To where I find peace alone
To where I felt secured.

I long for it for years..
I thought I would miss the opporunity to love
And to be loved back.

Indeed, it was Him
Who showed me the way out --
Out of anger
Of jealousy and of other filthy feelings.

Show me then my ways, O Lord
Break my heart to what breaks Yours
Let Your love in me overflows
That I may love others too
*Just the way You loved me...
