No More Price to Pay

No more bitter words
It's not what love means
Today I hum, and sing, and smile
And wonder what I thought before

What I thought before

Ain't it funny what one sinks to
In the name of love?
Thinking it is just part of the beauty
One moment for the next.

A trade-off.

But true love has no price tag
In its purest form, and remember
There is no pass throught the hard times
But those times aren't the center of their own gravity.

Gravity has a long-term pull.

Not a short one.  No, the short-term pull
Is that of humming, and singing, and floating
So far above the undaunted life.
We've all lived for awhile.

So no more bitter words,
No more abuse
No more price to pay for moments of beauty
I have finally found what it's really like to love.  

And be loved.
