this is love

Brenna and Brent's engagement photo

to want one man
and nothing more
to crave the company
of the one you adore
this is love

to forget one's self
in order to serve
when one feels unworthy
of the one they deserve
this is love

to ache when he's gone
your happiness withdrawn
you can't carry on
until his eyes are upon
your face

elated when he's near a
a restorative cheer
all that you hold dear
bidding farewell to fear
in his embrace

to be by his side
all that was, now obsolete
you've not been found
together, complete
this is love
