Love was told she had three months

And over the course of those three months

Love lost her hair and her strength

Love could no longer do things she enjoyed

And though Love's strength had gone

And Love was bed-ridden

Love still had much to offer

Love offered wisdom

Love offered laughs

Laughs that led to memories 

Memories of when Love was better

And when those three months passed

And Love's health started to falter

Those memories were essential

Because to lose Love

Was to lose the power Love brought

And meaning of all Love had to offer.
