I Realize

I Realize

If I could gather all the stars
and hold them in my hand,
the colors I would then possess
would not be half as grand
as those which I have seen when I
look deep into your eyes,
or come across when I have kissed
your lips, I realize.

If I could ponder all the truths
men sought since time began,
they would not teach me more than if
I were to touch your hand.
For, truth, to one whom you have touched,
appears as simple lies;
and nothing could be truer than
your touch, I realize.

If I were given lasting life,
as only God could do,
I’d shun it all and turn away,
if I could live with you.
For, even God has never known
the immeasurable size,
of the love that is within,
your heart, I realize.

Reason for writing:

    
This one goes out to the one I love.
Lars, a man who is the root of all greatness.
For he, I could not live without.
