A refreshing alternative to the typical song about love

Love, comes along
It’s not some fleeting feeling
For love to be strong,
It’s washed in pain and healing

Love is a choice,
It’s an action,
It has feeling
Love is the one thing,
In this life
That still has meaning.
Love tracks you down,
It could hurt you,
It could nail you to a cross.
Love asks you:
“How much,
Have you suffered,
And are you bleeding?”

Pain, pain will come
We’re all guaranteed it.
But those who choose to love,
Then through their pain,
They heal with it.

Love ain’t some game,
That when it suits you,
You can take it as you please.
Love never claimed,
That it won’t hurt,
Or bring you to your knees.
Love’s a choice
And an action.
It has feeling.
Love is the one thing.
In this life,
That gives it meaning
