Love Defined

I dare not look your way too long
For you'll steal my breath away
Your beauty etched into my mind
Til it leads my heart astray

A love like this is but a legend
That's handed down through time
The reason songs of love are written
A love that's purely sublime

You're the reason for a thousand dreams
Evidence, of a wish come true
A fairy tale, that's come to life
A vision, that I must pursue

You're my belief in happy endings
A gift, from Heaven above
An oasis in this barren land
The true definition of love
