Love, you mystify and bemuse

Joy and pain you both infuse

Pleasure and panic you produce

My heart you gently bruise


With you I soar, with you I cry

You lift me up, you petrify

A heaven and hell within me lie

When we collide, the sparks fly


You challenge me to open and grow

Outside comfort zones I must go

Lessons I learn when with you I'm thrown

Though it's uneasy, with you I'm home


For our bond makes me best self awoken

Though shaken, with you I'm never broken

This wondrous irony, this gift unspoken

Our contradictions, a promise token


You show me the light and shadow within

In your eyes, truth burns bright like sunlight

Together we heal, together we mend

Where you go, I will go - your hand in mine
