Today, I decided to love you
Cos love is a verb and not a noun
It's what I do day after day
Not what I say or feel today
Today, I decided to love you
Not cos there was no one else to love
Not cos you're the most perfect I found
But cos I chose you, above all the others
Today, I decided to love you
Not cos I've closed my eyes to your faults
But cos I've seen some, know there may be more
And love you anyway, maybe more
Today, I decided to love you
Not cos love is an easy thing to do
Nor cos I expect the same measure of love from you
But cos I want to, in fact, I already do
Today, I decided to love you
Not cos I expect you'll never do me wrong
But cos love forgives and keeps no record of wrongs
And though I hope I wont have to,
I pray I'll be able to
I decided to love you today,
Cos love is patient and kind and faithful
Cos love is not self-seeking or all me,me,me
Cos love doesn't ask- "what's in it for me"
Cos love is giving & giving and giving
And even when you're not getting any back
Still giving some more till u can give no more
Today, I decided to love you

ReplyDeleteThis is a bold choice to make. (Good outcome or bad, "bold" doesn't come with regrets)

ReplyDelete*blushes* thanks for the kind words, y'all. Yes, it's a bold choice. The important thing is that it's a conscious choice. That way, whatever happens, you know you did not allow the tide to sweep you away, but you chose to let it.
