How much can love take?

How much can one heart take, before it breaks,
The weight of sorrows, the ache it makes,
How often can love’s melody sway,
Before it’s too hurtful to stay.

Too much pain makes one leery of chance.
Love’s rhythm rocks a delicate dance,
The notes of joy, once sweetly sung,
Now clouded by doubts, where love had clung.

Let’s talk and mend what’s broken,
Heal the wounds, the words unspoken,
For love is a gift, a precious token,
Of happiness, a bond unbroken.

Let’s cherish love, in every way,
Nurture its flame, day by day,
With open hearts and souls alight,
We’ll find the strength to make things right.

In the darkest hour, we’ll hold on tight,
Together we’ll conquer any plight,
No obstacle is too great to face,
For in love’s embrace, we find our grace.

Let’s not let our love go unspoken,
In gentle words, hearts awoken,
With tender touch and understanding,
We’ll find our way, our love expanding.

For love’s the thread that binds us whole,
Through highs and lows, time takes its toll,
In love’s embrace, we find our way,
To cherish, together, come what may.
