Love The One You Hold

I know Valentine's Day is past, but I wanted to share one of my favorite songs lately.  It's Lover Of The Light by Mumford and Sons.
 
As I always say, songs can be interpreted in a number of ways, but I especially love the chorus of this one.
 
"But love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light"
 
Commit to the person you are already with!  Make an effort and I strongly believe that you will find "gold" and "light" in your relationship!!
Here are all the lyrics for you:
 
And in the middle of the night
 I may watch you go.
 There'll be no value in the strength
Of walls that I'll have grown
There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
But I'd be yours if you'd be mine
 
Stretch out my life and pick the seams out
Take what you like but close my ears and eyes
 Or watch me stumble over and over
I had done wrong you built your tower
But call me home
and I will build a throne
 And wash my eyes out never again
 
But love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
 
With skin too tight and eyes like marbles
You spin me high so watch me as I glide
Before I tumble homeward,
homeward I know I've tried I was not stable
 And flawed by pride
I miss my sanguine eyes
So hold my hands up
Breathe in and breathe out
 
So love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
 
And in the middle of the night I may watch you go.
 There'll be no value in the strength
 Of walls that I'll have grown
 There'll be no comfort in the shade of the shadows thrown
You may not trust the promises of the change I'll show
But I'd be yours If you'd be mine
 
So love the one you hold
And I'll be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
So love the one you hold
And I will be your gold
To have and to hold
A lover of the light
