it's not your smile warm and inviting it ain't your brown eyes perfect shape and size it ain't your hair just the way I like it it just is what it is as they say listen baby unconditional unconditional love unconditional unconditional love unconditional unconditional love unconditional unconditional love it's not about how dope you are painting on a canvas or the way you cut those pears it ain't the look of love on your face as we lay it's none of those things down to the way you and i were made like a hand to a glove or a puzzle piece was i'm here to bring you unconditional unconditional unconditional love unconditional unconditional unconditional love it's not about what you earned what you did, what you didn't, what you deserve see, none of that even matters it's not about anything it's not based on nothing so nothing's gonna change it just is what it is as they say unconditional unconditional love unconditional unconditional love

thunderclap footsteps press sharply in the hour of desire 40 foot tall with a helmet on a spire way higher than the average strong and attuned past regular on the way to ithaka marching lockstep in particular photo of a grecian urn longing for the precious, lost artifact's safe return hand-written postcard serves as a locket held close-vested in a breastpocket messenger in a bottle swigging swagger swaying sideways slipping sentences and daggers this love is a juggernaut can't be stopped time, distance, nor circumstance this love is a juggernaut can't be stopped time, distance, nor circumstance bridges have broke apart the path is unreturnable Mastercrafted built for the unattainable unshakable while terra firma trembles with each step the fog and mist and fire attempts to smother every breath faith is the weapon, and the armor, and the fuel cell the solitary mission trail filled with dry travails pales like the points of pitchforks which bounced and fell the only option: bend the arc until the truth prevails this love is a juggernaut can't be stopped time, distance, nor circumstance this love is a juggernaut can't be stopped time, distance, nor circumstance baby you know its true i'll be there for you and i'll never let you down i won't ever let you down never let you down and i won't ever let you down won't let you down won't ever let you down

looking at the future birthing what is possible stolen glances never are enough stories shared while walls collapse bricks and stone they drop sitting in the valley longing for the mountain top moments in the sun holding hands and walking blocks thousands pass in faded shades don't stop walking those same streets alone shadows slip and box sitting in the valley longing for the mountain top if you would be so kind, i would lead you through my house of seven rooms seven senses, seven feelings, seven wonders, seven melodies, seven moments of hope-dusted despair scoured into a pearly finish by a deeply abiding sense of faith for you to say 'yes' and come forward with me and i would spend any evening sitting on the sidewalk inhaling your ambrosial fragrance and flax-golden presence imbibing love's prodigal homecoming right on time it's you that i can't seem to leave behind daily supplication and meditation in lotus same as on your living room floor wishing you were in the bed adjacent breaths away as before giving thanks for all yet there are times of deep longing and hunger in your absence lonely without you with a place no one can take or claim if you would be so kind, i need you hurry up this way again
