The Hardest Love of All
The bonds that we shared could tie you to me,
Our life streams will flow together eternally.
You are like the skin on my body,
the very things that holds me to what I am to be.
Without you life will never be the same,
The earth will continue but my life will all change.
A part of it will remember the memories,
Of times we spent with one another.
Your pain is mine,
your tears I wish,
That I could cry,
To clear your eyes.
I wish no harm will come to you,
No sadness, worries, problems, blues.
Whenever I see you without a smile,
My heart will sink,
The depth a mile.
But then I know I need to stay,
Away from you, for its not me.
Not me, I am the one to be,
The one who is to be with thee.
I cannot help, I was not chosen,
You will then have to learn and grow through him.
By pain, by sorrow, by tears and trials,
But I still would wish that you did not have,
To go through those to learn to live.
I want to take up all your burdens,
They may be heavy, but I will carry.
So smiles from you can light the world,
For that I would take the hard and crude.
But He has spoken, obey I need,
For it is best only in his steed,
And painful as it may be for me,
I will take the pain apart from thee.
It wretches me so,
The truth be told,
That if you left,
That tears will shed,
But I will give,
So you can live,
The hardest love above all things,
To see you fly, to sprout your wings.
Came up with this while driving my car. Just had some thought about the topic on love while conversing with Hui Shan, Wei Rong and Francin. It really is hard to give wings……
