Analysis of So this is Love
So this is Love
Painful, hurting, leaving me raw
Under the veil of calm rises strained emotion
Two-beings with a past, flailing to curb what might be
Ironic that we stand separated but hoping still
Can hope and fear coexist and in the end love win?
Will our patterns be fractured by the hope of love?
Is faith and belief the fuel for rebirth?
Are entanglements dimming the once bright light?
My love, I choose to believe in this story
That after the storm, the sand is scrubbed clean and sky anew
That true love stories arise from storms rather than the calm winds
I believe the sun is always brightest after the darkness
Time is of the essence
I missed you yesterday, today was worse, what will tomorrow be like
That’s the feel of my love for you, powerful, unyielding, but earnest in appeal
I change my life to yet feel the ember after the storm, always believing love will win, and this is love
