My Love And Your Love (A Song Poem) Poem by Dennis Lange

I love you a lot.
Do you love me a little?
Do you love me enough
To keep my heart that's brittle
From aching, from breaking,
From falling apart?
Do you love me enough
That you won't break my heart?

My love and your love
Are no longer twins.
Your love is ending
Where mine just begins.
My love and your love
Still travel as one,
But yours is the moon
And mine is the sun.

My love is forever.
Can you love me a while?
Can you love long enough
So I don't lose my smile
Tomorrow, to sorrow,
To days that are past?
Can you love long enough
To make my life last?

My love and your love
Are no longer twins.
Your love is ending
Where mine just begins.
My love and your love
Still travel as one,
But yours is the moon
And mine is the sun.

My love has great power.
Does yours have some strength?
Do you love strong enough
To go to the length
Of caring, of sharing,
To finish the race?
Do you love strong enough
To give me a place?

My love and your love
Are no longer twins.
Your love is ending
Where mine just begins.
My love and your love
Still travel as one,
But yours is the moon
And mine is the sun.
