The Comfort of Love

The comfort of love
Knowing, your loved one is there
Through anything that happens
A team you are and will be
Hello and goodbye, 
Always returning home
The comfort of love
Acceptance, consistency,
Even when apart, not alone
When stars sparkle,
In the dark skies at night,
Smiles emerge, with no fears in sight
Moonlit kisses with soft embraces
     - Never Forgotten -
The comfort of love
Lets nothing be stolen
Lets nothing be erased
Returned by the touch of a face
In loving, cupped hands
Where it can never be replaced
Home is not empty anymore
But, filled with the comfort of love
      -  For Evermore  -
A knowing, that will never be gone
Shared equally in the rising,
      -  Of every dawn -
