When Love Lifts the Veil

When love lifts the veil When your despondent soul desperately searches for love looking for years without success and you feel like giving up sadness overwhelms you like tsunami waves pounding you with grief when love comes to you, lifting the veil of sorrow it brings you relief From a distance love's possibility suddenly arrives on the scene hope begins to rise anew in your troubled heart although unseen First a glimpse of love's possibility from across the crowded room second glances bringing promises of romance is astonishing you Then arrives the first shy smile, then is heard your first hello heart beating faster and faster, galloping onward losing all control Then comes your first dance together, followed by your first kiss you always dreamed that your true love would happen just like this Then comes the true confessions, along with your love's concessions Love lifts the veil of hidden secrets and desires, in rapid succession Happiness and loyalty enshroud you protecting you from wrong desires Love has shone it's gleaming light upon you, both your souls are on fire Now comes the I love you's, and the proposal you've been patiently waiting for Vows are made, you say I do, love lifts the final veil, love reigns forevermore.
