I did reason with love for a season

I did reason with love for a season
Did share my strivings and struggles
Still it did so steadfastly
Love on
Without a thought or care

Such love so rare
With none couldst I compare
Nor comprehend
How I was so privy to such a friend
None had I known
So faithful and true

"Love," inquired I
"Why dost thou love
Such imperfection as I
What hath thou to gain
From such a pursuit"

Love replied
Without hesitation
"Twas for thy own sake
This bond of affection
I did stake"

"I do not love for my own gain
For I need not love to remain
For such love I give
For indeed Love I am
There is no love
To compare to mine"

"My love is complete
I love all
Whether in despair
Or without a care
My love exceeds all
Boundaries"

"So accept as thou wilt
My love without guilt
No "good" could thee do
To merit my love
For you"

"My love is true
My love is pure
It is the only cure
For all else is counterfeit
And will not satisfy"

"But my love remains
It bears all stains
And sorrows that one bares
In my love
One casts their cares
Upon"

And so breaks the dawn
Of hope
And what lies beyond
Indescribable
And too wonderful
For words
