Light A Candle In The Window Pane For Me

Love; so sweet yet so frail
Like a candle in the window pane on a midnight breeze
As it gently lifts one spirit, it slowly crushes another
And yet in the end all that matters are three simple yet overly complicated used words
I love you
Three words of such great meaning, great allure
Like a flicker of light or a battering heartbeat in a storm of desire
Three words of truth that are beyond ability to express
Yet in the same, all is lost to a doomed hope when two depart
Such is that of a man leaving a candle in a window for his lost son to return
Or that of a loving, caring woman awaiting her other half to return home
All the same that flicker in a window like a beacon of hope lights up hearts
Like that of the warm gentle embrace of the rising sun
That one little word of necessity is all the heart needs to know it’s home
As faith and hope give a man direction is nothing if not accompanied by love
As “when love is when you see God in someone else’s eyes”, home isn’t the journey
As it’s love that keeps the candle burning for that reason a person doesn’t know
They’re truly home until they’re in the arms of the one they love
And both together are in the arms of our father above
Keep that candle burning no more; I’m home
I love you
I don’t know how to express it enough
What I cannot be God can
I love you with all my heart
And no matter what happens I always will
And should I ever lose my way promise me this
Light a candle in the window pane for me and I promise
I will always find my way back home to you
