Imagine

Imagine love
as you've dreamed it to be;
a glittering grin,
a bouquet of roses,
perhaps picnics in the park
accompanied by laughter.

Sweet secrets whispered in your ears
Late night conversations
Gifts lavishly given
All you've thought love could be.

A funeral march
within your heart
Love: now a faint memory
Lost in the labyrinth.
A love you've only imagined;
leaving a hollow nightingale
in its wake

Now, imagine.
Imagine a love
That never gives up
Imagine a love
always patient and caring
Imagine a love
free of judgement
Imagine a love
that is unrelenting.

Willing to give you the world,
each star hung in the sky.
Willing to give up His life
to save you from yours.

Imagine a love
Too great to describe
Imagine a love
Incomprehensible.

Imagine being filled
with a melody once again.
Imagine champagne
running through your veins.
Imagine emotions
yet to be named.
Imagine,
Bubbling with joy
Singing in the rain
Dancing with the wind
Imagine.

Imagine.

This love is real,
it will never fade.
There is no need to imagine.
