~ If I Could ~

I would, for this I surely could
Keep you as my love within
For you are deep inside my heart
No matter where we go, or where we've been

I love you darling, my chosen delight
In my heart you cannot help but stay
My treasure to keep forever
Even though you may go away

I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Into eternal day
The love we have is ours to keep
As we are one in heart always

If I could, I'd keep you close
But this I cannot do
Yet, love is such that can't be lost
For my heart belongs to you.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire.
In the beginning a flame, very pretty,
Warm and comforting,
But light and flickering.
As love grows older,
Our hearts mature
And our love becomes as coals,
Deep-burning and unquenchable.
