Building True Love

He held her in a tight, warm embrace
His arms clasp around her lovingly
And she could hear his heart beating
(For only her)

Their love was true, strong, and everlasting
Weathering the most devastating storms
And holding against the most turbulent waves
That would break any normal fragile relationship

But what they had was not fragile or frail
They had built their hearts together
Inch by inch, brick by brick
On a solid foundation

They created something so beautiful to last
Something constructed with a long-term vision
A future planned out where they could grow old
And age together and die together with the same love

But of course there are still faults and mistakes
And instead of continuing with only hopes
They add, tear down, and rebuild…fortify
Vowing that nothing will break what they cherish

And to this day their love is stronger
Their love is more complete than ever before
Their love is pure and true
And their love seems closer to forever

Love is random but true love is not by chance
True love is sculpted with care and compassion
It is learning from mistakes and moving forward
True love is built hand in hand and shared with each other

True love is making something to last beyond tomorrow
