To Love

To Love.

To love truly; love deeply,

With a heart that’s true,

Is to let go of all of self,

Our hopes and fears,

All cherished ambition,

And simply to accept,

You,

You just as you are,

You just ‘cos you’re you,

The one we love,

Whose friendship we cherish,

Who means the world to us,

And,

To whom we offer our all,

For you are you

Just as you are; just as we met,

And fell in love!
