This isn't meant to explain love, as I got in a comment, but to tell a story of love...
--------------------------------------------
I gaze out the window,
Looking across the lands,
Wishing you were here with me,
To take my hand.
Folding my empty hands in my lap,
I see my reflection in the window,
Breathing for you alone,
I know my heart can grow.
Sighing a depth of sorrow,
Knowing it is the sea,
That separates us, but I still want,
You to share a life with me.
When my gentle thoughts,
Dance through my head,
I know a thousand miles,
Is not far to tread.
Walking by love holding me high,
Knowing you are not to far away,
I reach out for your hand,
Daring you to stray.
For a love so great,
Easily, is never found,
And I know we are lucky,
For this love will always be around.
