Love Itself Lyrics

Cover art for Love Itself lyrics by Leonard Cohen

Last night I had one of the most vivid waking dreams I've every had in my 43 years while drifting off to sleep listening to this song. I'm going through a tumultuous time in life. My wife and I have hit a rough patch and I have been reflecting on how quickly love can lose its presence in a relationship. When the song reached the verse about love reaching an open door, and disappearing, I envisioned an amorphous white human shape standing, nearing the exit door of a room, then disappearing. When the song reached the verse about going back to the room, the room was filled with that same beautiful light of love. To me this means that love doesn't disappear unless you let it go.
