To know a love that transcends all,
Where all else fades to grey,
And all the trivial toilings known,
Promptly drift away.
And there's no longer any need,
To question future lot.
And all the failings of your past,
Promptly are forgot.
And euphoria is a daily breath,
Effortlessly received.
And all the love that is professed,
Promptly is believed.
And any foe which may appear
Is easily defeated.
And every "I love you," softly spoke,
Promptly is repeated.
And all thoughts, silently known,
No words even shared.
And any injury received by one,
Promptly is repaired.
But when one of two depart,
And one life is ended.
Hasty promises of forever,
Promptly are rescinded.
And I'm not certain all the pro's
Can make up for the con,
Of enduring a day when such a love,
Promptly is just gone.

To know a love that transcends all,
Where all else fades to grey,
And all the trivial toilings known,
Promptly drift away.
And there's no longer any need,
To question future lot.
And all the failings of your past,
Promptly are forgot.
And euphoria is a daily breath,
Effortlessly received.
And all the love that is professed,
Promptly is believed.
And any foe which may appear
Is easily defeated.
And every "I love you," softly spoke,
Promptly is repeated.
And all thoughts, silently known,
No words even shared.
And any injury received by one,
Promptly is repaired.
But when one of two depart,
And one life is ended.
Hasty promises of forever,
Promptly are rescinded.
And I'm not certain all the pro's
Can make up for the con,
Of enduring a day when such a love,
Promptly is just gone.
