In what way can I prove to have loved you with absolute devotion?
Should I craft an epic, a thousand pages would that be worth to mention?
I've returned to your side and I've given my all to repent of everything
And yet my heart is heavy, breaking, thinking I don't deserve anything
You welcomed me with kindness, and the love I'd come to miss
But now I know I've not deserved a thing from you I can settle for less
Yet through your love I've understood the meaning of what is true
The reality of that word and the gravity it brings between me and you.
So I surrender, all I am, inadequate, lost, broken, full of stains
But this broken soul can't live without the you who calls out through the pains
What real love requires and what it means I know that it takes more
More than what I can imagine and what more I can implore
You love me with such a magnitude I cannot explain with words alone
It daunts me to my core and leaves me breathless, how can I move or moan?
When what you have, what you are, what your love is more than true
Can my hapless, unfocused, tainted, ugly love be of any worth to you?
What came upon me through you had corrected my perception
I must let go of all the things that held me back from loving with intention
That you are the focus of what my heart should have desired
That you are who I return to every moment, from my rise til I am tired
Yes you hold me closer than I deserve, you chase my wandering arms
You calm the turbulence in my thoughts and you silence all my alarms
You have revived my dying heart, resurrected my lost soul
And in return what I can give, is all I am, all my being, the me that you've made whole.
