Strange Love, Strange Time 130503

A question led

To a night of reflection

As I pondered

Your value

To me.

Somewhat strange

That I love you now

Not so much

For what you are

But for what

I see you will be.

A strange thing indeed.

I look at you

And I see through time

I look back at our pasts

So different, and yet

Somehow the same

And I love your history

For it gave me

The you I see today

I see you today

And I love you

For the distance you've come

And the distance you'll go

Not knowing how far

Yet willing to walk on

'Till your journey's end

I see the future

Unclear but so bright

And your smile comes to me

From beyond the present

And I love you

And where we are now

Not passionately

Not actively

Not outwardly

Not holding back

Not holding illusion

I love you.
