Love is Not a Body, But a Soul....

Rob Carter 1967 (Aldershot)



Love is not a storm, but a rainbow,
It is not a part, but a whole.
It is not a moment, but a lifetime,
It is not a body, but a soul.
Love is not a gain, but a sacrifice.
It is not a word, but an action,
It is not a dream, but a reality,
It is not a hobby, but a passion.
Love is not a destination, but a journey.
It is not a chance, but a choice.
It is not magic, but a miracle,
It is not a noise, but a voice,
Love is not a weakness but a strength,
It is not a wish, but a will.
It is not a burden, but a blessing,
It is not a gift, but a skill.
Love is not a spark, but a flame,
It is not a breath, but a sigh.
It is not a glance, but a gaze,
It is not a look, but a smile.
Love is not a whim, but a vow,
It is not a puzzle, but a mystery.
It is not a division, but a union,
It is not a past, but a destiny.
Love is not a fantasy, but a fact,
It is not a touch, but a hold.
It is not a flower, but a rose.
It is not a body, but a soul.
