You thought that love
Was the wave
That came crashing down around you
And threatened to drown you
A deluge in which you might die
But no
Love was what remained
When the wave finally washed you up
On the shore of broken dreams
And love was what was revealed
Through the painful sorting
Of those broken shards
That pierced your soul
Now you know
That once found
Love is the precious gift that never dies
That every soul longs for
And when truly embodied
Can never be destroyed
