Our Love Poem by Rustiq Joy

Lived long enough to know
It won't always be divine;
Lived long enough to know
It will be rough sometimes;
Lived long enough to know
There will be harsh words spoken;
Lived long enough to know
Hearts will be broken.

But lived long enough to know
Broken hearts can heal;
Tongues can become softer;
Better times can be just around the corner;
Lived long enough to know
That your beautiful heart
That won me over
Can still do it over and over and over.
Lived long enough to know
It can be alright,
It will be alright,
With God in our sights.

Lived long enough to know
Love can end;
Lived long enough to know
I won't always see you as a lover or even a friend;
Lived long enough to know
My body won't always seduce you.
Lived long enough to know
That age and ailments might cleave to you, ... me too.

But lived long enough to know
Love again can thrive;
Even through hardships friendships can survive;
My breasts can soothe your troubled soul;
Lived long enough to know
The touch of our bodies can make us whole.
Lived long enough to know
It can be alright,
It will be alright,
With God in our sights.

Let our hearts not be hardened
Let our sins be pardoned
Let us be strong
For we have miles and miles to go on
Lived long enough to know
It can be alright,
It will be alright,
With God in our sights.
