The One I Love



To the one I love
I give you my best
I stand with you
Through the worst

To the one I love
I give you my time
I give you my soul
I give you my trust

To the one I love
I ask only this
In return you must
Do the same

Forever bound by
That which is strongest
Loves great embrace

Held strong forever more
Love shall stand unbroken
Love shall remain resolute
Love shall destroy uncertainty
