How can you love someone
you have never seen
with a feeling so passionate that it makes
your heart skip a beat at
the sound of his voice?

How can you feel his hands on you,
when he has never touched you?
How can you feel his lips kiss yours
when he has never whispered your
name in the night?

A love with such passion that life could have
never known it in your wildest dreams.
Or if it could ever be possible would you turn it
away in fear that it could not be real for you had
never known such a love.

For this love I would take the chance of
heartbreak.
For I have known a lifetime of heartbreak
and heartbreak in itself is of a temporary nature
if we allow it to be.

But to know just one moment in
my life with
such passion
such feeling
such want
such need.
I would give myself entirely
without regret
without sorrow
without remorse
to you
your wants
your needs
your love
your life.

To deny such a love would be the most fatal of
mistakes.

To deny myself your love would be an injustice
within itself to the name of love.

To have a love based on a spiritual not physical
beginning could only result in the most special
of loves.

The love you wait a lifetime for.
A love so strong that heaven nor earth could
stop it from being.

A love for you and I,
A love for eternity.
