"In Order to Avert a Cliche Title"
Love is steady, love is pure
It doesn't change like the southern weather
Love will sacrifice and come to life
It doesn't pass with our four seasons
I'm a hundred miles away from that place
where I found out that it's more than a face
It's like the sunrise over the ocean
that brings more than just emotion
Only it doesn't succumb when the world turns
The fire doesn't fade, it only burns
It's the star that slowly starts to rise
But once it does it never sets or dies
And love is truth, it doesn't hide
It doesn't run like a thief at night
Love will dry your eyes and bring surprise
It doesn't leave when you are in need
I hate to say this but I know it's true:
at the start I only saw what wasn't you
And it's funny how when I look back to that time
And then fast-forward to where I am in my mind
I can see the way I discovered what's real
And set it apart from the things that I feel
'Cause feelings change in the course of a day
So who's to say it's only a feeling anyway?
And love will wait for a life time
It won't give up when things look rough
And so love know's when it's right
It doesn't deceive or pretend to be
And as the clock ticks by and we grow older
I wanna take the weight from off your shoulder
And I'm not sure where all you have been
But there's places you shouldn't ever have to see again
And as some stories make their way to my ear
All kinds of worries start to appear
And are they all in my head? I can just pray
And that's why I hate to be so far away
So far away

This piece certainly wants to be positive however you give a glimpse of " the long and winding road:"
"...And as the clock ticks by and we grow older
I wanna take the weight from off your shoulder
And I'm not sure where all you have been
But there's places you shouldn't ever have to see again
And as some stories make their way to my ear
All kinds of worries start to appear
And are they all in my head? I can just pray
And that's why I hate to be so far away
So far away"
That leaves an emptiness less than what 'negative' connotes but nonetheless..
However a flowing expression that is heartfelt leaves me with the wry smile of knowing a bit more about love from anothers point of view and that is good.
Peace
