Tow the Line

To the line that reaches eternity
the line standing in front of me
I left myself to wonder
while hopefull dreams I ponder
I love you reached an I love you back
this I treasure in a loving sack
and add to it the many hugs
That signal me a secret love
I reach for things I might not posses
With each opportunity put it to test
And with each success put doubt to rest
the love I seek and nothing less
A state of limbo for that, that crest
My poor heart hopes for the best
When love is met with humbleness
And proceed to love without regret
Don't leave me with this terrible debt
Uneasy with a heart just left
I am willing with words and deeds
I'll confess it is you I need
my love for you has become a creed
I only look for feelings agreed
With that my deepest love succeds
And I will satisfy my deepest greed

Did this happen to be a poem for the box of lost things contest? I could see it working in a not so literal way . Nicely done.
