It Isn't Love At All

I make no apology for posting this. It has always spoken to me and, having read Drea's 'IF', I am reminded of it.

It Isn’t Love at All by Stephen Kay

Saying “I love you” is an easy thing to do,
And it’s not that I don’t believe it and trust in you.
But when the new-found thrill has died, will you still be by my side?
If you can’t do that, it isn’t love at all.

Will you stand by me no matter what people say?
Be the one that I can turn to when others turn away?
Be open and believing right through it all?
If you can’t do that, it isn’t love at all.

It’s never that easy — life can tear your dreams apart
So many times people reach the ending before they start
Can you keep the fire bright through the coldest, darkest night?
If you can’t do that, it isn’t love at all.

Will you still be here tomorrow if times get rough?
Give me strength and inspiration instead of giving up?
Build our love into a fortress a mountain tall?
If you can’t do that, it isn’t love at all.

...you happen to be one of the many folks who have given me strength and inspiration, and for that I am so grateful, Susan Darling!

Love, Andrea Lena

Stephen Kay is corect! True

Love will conquer all adversity, given time s well as seek to forgive any wrongs done.

We are each exactly as God made us. God does not make mistakes!

Today I am your chariot horse
Tomorrow I'm your albatross
Suspended by the finest thread
No one could ever see

And when there's breathing in your ear
You put your faith in all you hear
But just how deep those feelings go
I have no way to know
I'll never know

If I was blind
Would you still be my eyes
Or hide everything you see
Pretending to care about me
When all the time you're just wishing I'd fade away
You just can't bring yourself to

Say out loud the reasons why
You won't admit you realise
The promise you've been living by
Is just an empty shell

You'll come to bear it like a cross
Then start to tear it like frayed gauze
Though I'm ashamed to be afraid
I just can't help myself
Can't help myself

Ban nothing. Question everything.
