My Love

My love

I searched for love...
and my search led me, 
to your front door...
and so my love, 
won't, you open it to me?

I've lived my life in stages...
and I keep on turning pages...
I want to write you, 
into the scene...
but, you have to let me in.

Chorus

My love...
don't you know, that you're the one
I've been searching for?
I've waited my whole life for you...
Now I'm standing in front of you...
My love...
don't you know,
my love is strong, and it's sincere...
and I'm still standing here...
no need for you to fear...

All you need to do is trust me,
and my love will set you free.


Now we've found love...
and together,
we can rise above...
cause we know,
that troubles will appear...

And whenever 
our life changes...
our love, will rearrange it,

cause through it all,
our love will stand tall,
and, all our burdens,
we will bear.

Chorus

My love...
don't you know that you're the one
I've been searching for?
I've waited my whole life for you...
Now I'm standing in front of you...
My love...
don't you know,
my love is strong, and it's sincere...
and I'm still standing here...
no need for you to fear...

All you need to do is trust me...
and my love will set you free

chorus repeat
fade to zero

Such a beautiful write, your emotions, feelings and imaginations all are perfect in this poem, I truly can t think of any other way in which you can express it better, it s how curious na that we meet alot of peoples in our lives but when we met our true love for the first time, we somehow know that he/she is the one we were waiting from the begginning and everything felt so beautiful,

Hey life is not easy, but love should be able to meet all of life's challenges, today, too many people give up on love too easily, at the first sign of trouble their packing their bags, what about loyalty, what about devotion? Thanks Jo!
