Oh, to be loved with abandon…
Without a care in the world —
No second-guesses
No doubts or ifs or buts
Oh, to be loved with every breath
Not worrying if tomorrow will come or not
Because today has been spent
Loving and being loved to oblivion
Oh, to be loved
Like it is just the both of you
And all others
Are simply here to wish you well
Because your love makes the news
And everyone hushes as they watch anew
Oh, to be loved passionately
That every worry you’ve ever had
Becomes a vague memory
Because your love has made amends
For every hurt in your heart
Previously endured
Oh, to be loved like a queen
To have someone guard your heart so jealously
Mounting guard at it
Like a brave knight
Taking orders from the king
Oh, to be loved in season
And out of it
When it’s fun
And when it’s not
Enduringly
Persistently
Achingly
Oh, to be loved without question
Where your heart
Has no room for doubt
And love remains
Despite the pain
Because it’s all forgotten
When love reigns
Oh, to be loved
And to love as well
In return…
Because love is incomplete
If it isn’t given back in full measure.
