I did not know what the feeling of
love is was like
To feel the terrified beating of
your heart
To feel the breath in your chest
start to hike
To watch as they walk away,
allowing your heart to restart
I did not know what it was like to
have them consume my thoughts
At every waking moment, day or
night
I did not know what it was like to
stare at them and be caught
I did not know what it was like to be
in the dark and have them be your only light
I did not know what it was like to see
the world in color
So bright, it seems to burn your
eyes
All the colors in the world to me
seem duller
I did not know what it was like to
feel affection and sigh
I did not know what it was like to
have your heart flutter like the wings of a dove
For I did not know the feeling of
love.
And then you came along
In all of your magnificent glory
Singing a joyful song
And through that you told me a
story
You were someone unique
Someone I could never be
You had a light everyone sought to
seek
And I watched you. Seeing
I was always that girl in the back
of the class
Reading books as an escape
That girl who had a heart made of
glass
And I stared at you in awe, mouth
agape
I wished for you to see me
That’s something that could never be
Many months passed with no
introduction
I knew everything about you
You seemed to be like a poison. A
perfect cause of destruction
And yet you knew nothing about me.
You never do
I watched you move on with life
As I sat in fright
This filled me with complete strife
As I watched you continuously flee
from my sight
And suddenly one day you came up to
me
With that bright smile on those
charming lips
You asked me to go on a date. It
was more like a plea
I couldn’t say no. I had dreamed of
this.
So we went to the movies and I had
a blast.
Slowly we got together things moved
fast
I realized something as time went
on
I never knew how to love
Love to me was more like a con
I knew the feelings, but for years
my heart never fluttered like a dove
Until I met you
Then things took a brighter turn
I never knew how this could really
feel. I never had a clue
It always seemed like an inferno
set in my body. Something that always seemed to burn
You showed me how to love
To know I was always able to
You showed me to the clouds and
above
You made my head spin and you still
do
So I thank you
For helping me understand my
ability to love was true
I
love you
