Life without Love is No Life at All

What Is Life Without Love?

by Simon McNamara

I fell in love with you once . . .

And while I couldn’t let you know immediately

Eventually, in time, all was revealed.

They say that when you fall into love,

It can never last.

They say that true love grows, takes time,

But from the time I first fell in love with you,

My love has grown.

I know now that if I had the choice

To do it all over again.

I would, without a moment’s hesitation.

Yes, there may be regrets.

Yes, there may be disappointments.

Yes, there may be uncertainty.

But what is life without love?

And while I know you’re not perfect -

After all, who is?

And while there may be things about you which get to me,

I love you, despite them all.

And while I’m sure there may be others,

Considered more beautiful, more lovely, more charming,

There are none considered by me.

For you, my love, are the most lovely in spirit,

The most charming in personality,

The most beautiful person I have ever known -

And as such, I love you.

I said I fell in love with you once -

Well, that wasn’t exactly true.

Because every time you look me in the eye,

And smile that smile of yours,

That bubbles up from within your heart,

I find myself falling in love with you all over again.

No matter what has happened in my day,

No matter how I feel,

I find my heart opening to you all over again

No matter what has happened in the past,

No matter what may, or may not happen in the future,

I find myself in love.

After all, what is life without love?

And what is love without you?
