I Write Love with a Cursive L

I write love with a cursive L,
the loops and curves my feelings quell.
A million secrets his lips do tell,
And for this boy I easily fell.

And on that day I couldn't catch his eye
Until the moment we spoke goodbye,
And for his arms I thought I'd reach,
but instead I turned and lost my speech.

And so my God, I gave it to you.
Emotionally broken and battered and blue.
And through green eyes you gave me hope,
long after I'd hit the end of the rope.

A beautiful creature
A star the fell
To keep me from heaven
and save me from hell.

I find myself wishing to be in his light,
hoping that my heart could ever shine that bright.

But still I wander back to the night,
because it's all I comfortably know,
A blind future is an awful fright,
And to the light I refuse to go.

I'm happy in my comfort zone
which I know you're sure to erase.
But for the beauty to unfold
it's something I want to face.

But in this shadow, I'll playfully hide,
Until you want me by your side.
From that moment on let church bells ring,
and from that moment on we'll sing:

Hallelujah, you were made for me.
Hallelujah, saved from misery.
And from this day I'll love you best
From this moment on and through the rest.
And through our sins and shortcomings we'll fight,
And within forgiveness we'll find a light.

I write love with a cursive L,
and for my darling I forever fell.

To God be the glory,
this is our story,
Forever and ever.

Amen.
