They say that sometimes love starts with a spark.

And that might be true,

but if I were to wish you a love, I wouldn't wish fire for you.

You see, fire is powerful.

It burns bright and then it's gone.

It's beautiful and warm, but it doesn't last long.

So instead of wishing you a love that burns, I wish you a love like a river twists and turns.

It changes and it flows, It is powerful and free.

But it consistently finds its way back to the sea.

And so like the water,

I hope your love is ever growing, ever changing.

I hope your love is powerful and free, And may you always find each other,

Like a river finds the sea.
