Beyond Reasons

 

 

 





Beyond Reasons
I can't give you a reason you should love me;
I can't give you a reason why I care.
I cannot say I see the future clearly,
But I promise you — I'll always be there.

I feel the warmth of love so deep inside you,
It's at your core and exceedingly rare.
I cannot prove that what I'm feeling is true,
But I promise you — I'll always be there.

You see my love and wonder at my reasons.
It seems impossible that I would dare
Commit to loving you through all our seasons,
But I promise you — I'll always be there.

I'll never need a reason just to love you;
I love enough for both, so we can share.
After I die, my love will surely come through,
And you'll still know that I'll always be there.

Love lives beyond life, and endures beyond time. Love's promise lasts beyond reason and resists all efforts at empirical study. Love requires no proof and exists in the face of impossible odds. One may love enough to carry two or may flicker, a bright spot in the twilight of the heart. Love never dies, though we may choose to ignore it, bury it, or run away from it. Love is proof to me that God lives.
