Love's a Flowing River

Nikki Gil

The pain 
of losing you;
No amount of 
words can explain.
In my heart, 
in my mind 
it lingers,
As if it is 
in my soul 
I shall have
to bear forever.

“If it is love, 
why it is so painful?

Was it really because it is real?

If it is real, why I’d lost you?

Does pain the proof 

that love is sincere?

Water is love 

a flowing river;

That surely reaches 

its ocean end.

Will there be a time 

that I shall reach you

to heal the wounds of

the years gone by? 

I shall not 

give up on love

because it is painful.

I shall not give on you 

because you are love. 

I shall not give up 

on joy that is lasting; 

I shall not give up 

 love because of 

its torment.

Love is a mystery; it is boundless. 

The claw of its misery is safe and harmless. 

And I don’t actually totally had lost you 

For in my heart you reside and had stayed; 

And the pain of losing is the proof 

That you and your love are real.
