If Love Were Enough

If love were enough

I wouldn't have to say goodbye

If love were enough

I wouldn't be sat here writing my reasons why

If love were enough

I'd dance through fields under the moonlit sky

If love were enough

We'd weather storms without a sigh

If love were enough

I wouldn't have to hide the tears I cry

If love were enough

But alas, reality's harsh decree

Brings forth the bitter truth to see

That love, though strong, is not all we need

To mend the wounds or set us free

So here I am, pen in hand, heart heavy

Trying to grasp why love alone is not plenty

For sometimes, love alone cannot withstand

The trials of life or the shifting sand

Yet still, in this moment, I hold on tight

To the memories of us, in the dimming light

Hoping against hope, as I bid goodbye

That someday, somehow, love will be enough to defy.
