Love is a mystery that defies explanation,
A code we cannot decipher
With wide eyes and open hearts
We reach for the fruit of knowledge
Knowing that death is the price we’ll pay
Yet we persist in loving
For the pain it brings and the joy it bestows
Like a symphony of notes played on broken strings
We dance in the shadows of our own making
We know how this ends, how it must end
But still we embrace the divine
For love is not a rational thing
Nor can it be tamed or caged
It is a wild and reckless force
That leaves us forever changed
So let us live and love with all our might
For even in the pain and loss, we find the beauty that makes us whole
We are God’s henchmen on earth
And love is our mission, our calling
To spread it far and wide, to light up the darkest corners
To bring hope to the hopeless and healing to the broken
For love is heaven, and we are its messengers
Sent to remind the world of its power and grace
So let us go forth with courage and conviction
And love with all our hearts and souls, for it is in doing so that we become whole.
