Cross of Love

Illustration by Maximus Tan

For so long

I've played the game of life

Nothing to gain everything to lose

Finding love I chased the wind

Catching nothing but dust

The cross of love

My lover hangs

A sign of my worth

Opened arms

A warm embrace

I fell in love

I love you

I love you

What else is there to say?

Nothing else suffices

Nothing I can offer

Only my life and it's sacrifices

The cross of love

Attracts my soul

It's worth is more than gold

Now I'm here to stay

No more games to play

No more running away

I've fallen in love

My heart belongs to him

I've picked up my cross

To walk on with him
