Step

Once I thought I fell in love
'Cause I was happy to see her smile
Happy to see her, even just to hear her
But suddenly, I realized

This is not love.

For to love a woman is to step into a world
Not your own, nor hers alone
Ever to be here, ever to be there
Even in hell for an unlikely pair

I fell in love, not with her,
But with the happiness that she brought
A happiness fleeting, like a shadow passing
Now gone forever. And so I thought

This is not love.

For to love a woman is to step into her world
To leave your own, never to return
Ever to remain, ever to share
Her tears and pain in a life unfair

This is love.

To love a woman is to step into her world
To abandon heaven and live on earth
To give your life in exchange for hers
And spend eternal life together

To love at all is to jump across
The chasm of worry and fear of loss
To leave the past and consider it gone
To step into a world of two souls made one

"This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."
