Metaphoric hymns of love

From the bottomless pit I fell into 3 months ago since I met him, I now find my spirit and crumbled body rising. Floating up to the surface of this deep sea of accepting love, my face is soaked with ocean-waters; tears of joy and sorrow – a duet that now forms permanence in my universe.

I am convinced that his affirming words opened the dam gates of my overflowing chest filled with the saved and hoarded sinless love we both put there. This love now flows freely down the once dry soil of lost valleys; and lost they are no more.

For as long as I live I will wonder in shrilling amazement how at that moment he was able to hear my heart’s exact words as its pounding throbbed on the surface of his hard chest. With the faithfulness only a true beloved would know in his thoughts and feelings, he answered ‘yes’ to my heart’s unspoken question: “Will you love me for always?”

At the risk of sounding too corny, this song played on my mind as I typed the last word of the above paragraph. Sing a hymn of love with me.

Always by Atlantic Starr

Girl you are to me
All that a woman should be
And I dedicate my life to you always

A love like yours is rare
It must have been sent from up above
And I know you'll stay this way for always

And we both know, that our love will grow
And forever it will be you and me
Hey...
Ooh you're like the sun
Chasing all of the rain away
When you come around you bring brighter days
You're the perfect one
For me and you forever will be
And I will love you so for always

Come with me my sweet
Let's go make a family
And they will bring us joy for always

Oh boy I love you so
I can't find enough ways to let you know
But you can be sure our love's for always
