Love's Bottomless Pool
by Omega

To live is to love and to love is to live,
an unwritten rule we all know.
Unfortunately it is the one we most often break,
when we desist communications with our hearts.

There is no way for us to be together,
I am simply not good enough for a human.
I cannot provide him with the emotional unity
every relationship perpetually demands.
Then why does he bring a smile to my face?
Why do I feel such warmth in my heart?
And why can I not get rid of these confusing responses?
Oh why did I fall in love with my friend?

We often forget how love can move mountains,
how it can warm a heart on the coldest night.
We refuse to listen to the urging of our hearts,
and so we wallow in self-imposed miseries.

I know he doesn't feel the way that I do,
so why does he fill my thoughts each day?
Why did I let him steal my heart?
And why can't I convince myself of the futility of my love?
He's the best friend I've ever had in my life,
so why did I fall in love with him?

But in the darkest depths of our despairs,
love's secure lifeline will pull us out of the abyss.
We finally listen to the commands of our souls,
and we allow sunshine to chase away the shadows of pain.

Today my dear friend nearly died on a mission,
for the first time I realized what he meant to me.
I was there when he first woke up.
I gently took his hand..so warm...so fragile.
The doctor had thoughtfully left us alone.
Ever so gently he drew my lips to his
in a kiss that was long-overdue.

It won't be easy for us to surmount all our troubles, but
nothing worthwhile ever is.

For the first time in our lives we no
longer face the future alone.
Our destiny: together.
Forever.

Love is something we all desire,
something that is forever a part of our souls.
Love has a bottomless pool of joy, pain, and happiness.
Love surpasses all.

END
