Well Allison, this one isn't exactly "on point" as to your request, but I think there are a few lines in that fit your situation. Anyway, it's a favorite of mine by Pat Sky.

LOVE WILL ENDURE
Patrick Sky

When first I came to town, I came in from the country.
Not a penny did I have and not one cent could I offer,
But still our love it grew,
And our troubles they were few,
They were few.

Many times I tried to tell you all the hurt that I was feelin',
But my thoughts stumbled in my mind, and my words lost their meanin'.
I didn't mean to cause you pain,
So I'm leavin' once again,
Once again.

Ain't no need to think of me; I'll be happy where I'm goin'.
I've got roots that need a-plantin', and a love that needs a-growin'
Where my pride won't have to bend
And my lips can taste the wind,
Taste the wind.

And as for you, your tears will heal all the wounds that have been opened,
Just as time will clear the fields of all the flowers that have ripened.
Of all these things you can be sure.
Only love Will endure.
