The Price of Love

Good days, bad days
Good times, bad times
Happiness, Sadness
Anger and Love
Forgiveness and Reassurance


We have all
Yet through it all
We also have each other


Fears and Doubts
Pain and Hurt
Truth and Help
Everlasting Joy


Nothing is impossible
In that we both believe
WE are in all ways possible


Love
Unending Love
Forever
Eternally


There are times we both feel pain
whether together
or apart
it matters not
We can hurt each other
without meaning to
without knowing so
in the simplest of actions
thought innocent


That's the price of Love
that's the price of being so close
Your feeling are always open and free
Trusting in the other


That trust is way more often than not
kept in the highest of standards
and feelings run freely
happy and pure


The Price of Love
Pride
Truth
Committment
Openness


Without meaning to
without knowing what will happen
Something can be said or done
and thoughts unbidden will rise


Thoughts of envy
Jealousy or Fear
Thoughts of loss
or pain
Thoughts that you have been used unjust
manipulated, controlled
taken advantage of
Fear that I have hurt you
In some way or form
Not physically
But menatlly or emotionally
That is the Price of Love


The fear of hurting the other
by meaning to or not
The pain of suffering imposed upon self
whether just or not
The doubt in self when something goes awry
That 'I am not good enough'
Or 'you are too good for me'
Thoughts that say
'How can you still love me?
All I do is hurt you
All I cause is pain
You deserve better than what I am'


What am I to do with these thoughts?
How am I supposed to overcome them?
How to prove to myself that they are false,
just fear and pain?
How to say "help me!" when all help feels lost?


Love
Tell me all will be all right
Hold me close and don't let go
Pull me into your heart forever
where truth will always reign free
Look me in the eyes
and tell me how you feel
Tell me all are lies
the thoughts that overflow
Tell me you still love me
and never let me go


Love
It can be wonderful
It gives such joy
such meaning to life
It gives you a sense
that you are not alone
that someone is there for you
and thinks of you always
always loving thoughts
Always wishing
waiting, wanting
for the next time
you can be together again


Love
is taking a chance
Love is trusting another
with your very being
Love is trusting yourself
with another's heart and soul


Love is taking a chance
that you can show your entire self
every part of you
all that you like
and all that you don't
opening yourself up fully to another
and believing they will still accept you
Love you through your faults


Love you
and not destroy you


A thought
A word
Spoken aloud
An action
A movement
The feel of a touch
At just the wrong time
In just the wrong place
is devistating


Forgiveness
Forgiveness is the key to happiness
Hurt, pain, fear
That's part of life
there is no way to escape these parts
No matter how much you Love someone
They will come


They are necessary
They forge bonds stronger
if they can be overcome
Forgiveness is that key
For Forgiveness is all you have


Understand
Know it was not meant
know they are sorry
know they regret the second
the pain and hurt began
Know and Understand
Understand and Forgive


Forgiving the other that hurt you
Forgiving yourself for hurting
Forgiveness can take time
It can take much time


Never give up
Never surrender
Fight until the end
Fight for what you believe in
Love
Happiness
Joy
Know that if you always fight
You will win in the end


I Love You


Those three words
can save a life
Those three words
can change a person's world
Those three words
if truely meant
can save a person's soul


The Price of Love
It can be high
if you want it to be
if you do not want to give
all you have
to keep it strong


Yet the Price of Love
requires no more
than the unending effort and work
to and for the one you Love
to ensure it lives forever


Good days, bad days
Good times, bad times
Happiness, Sadness
Anger and Love
Forgiveness and Reassurance


We have all
Yet through it all
We also have each other
Always
