And
         however beautiful
          the ocean maybe
          you cannot drink
             from its water.

I have words for love

I will love,
When I care
When in your pain I despair.

I will love,
When I'm hurt
When your words
cut deep as swords.

I will love,
When I wait
lonely by the patience's gate

I will love,
When I promise.
When my promise
Is broken and remade.

I will love,
When I love,
Even if you hate.
