To Love But Not Possess
O how I have loved thee,
My heart has known no bounds,
And O how I would take and keep thee,
That we might both be one.
But how much do I really love thee?
Enough to do what's best for you?
For in our present roles, I feel
Embracing would not be the right thing now to do.
O, how I would shun the thought!
But no matter what the pain,
My love is great enough to bear,
Or else it would not be for your best gain.
And after all, you are not mine,
So now as in life's garden I do roam,
I see you as a flower fair
And praise God for His beauty everywhere.
O God, you are so magnificent!
And I no longer feel as incomplete
Without possessing all that I adore,
For you're within me, and therefore I am whole,
I need no more.
