Sometimes I think I know, And then I remember I don't. When I'm in need it's always you But when I'm strong my need is gone What does that mean? Who are you to have this effect on me but still I am not allowed to truly love you When it appears you are no longer partly mine I yearn for you And when you have another to distract and occupy your mind you turn back to me every time How do I love you When will the penny drop Are you the one or are you not? To be around you now I feel that there has been love lost But still a fragment remains Enough to fill the hole upon my heart Others have tried to fill in vain The thought of you I fear Is a fantasy of heights Never to be reached by others Or worse by yourself Where is the line drawn on sacrifice and lovers less? Do you wait to find the certainty of every want Or at a point, And dare I say Settle on a lesser love How easy it would be to just love and be loved To know and be known No doubt No hesitation Just to purely, deeply, love another But alas it is not so To love it not a friend nor is it a foe But vague and uncertain It is blind Like walking through a foggy night You are the flicker of a flame in the spectrum that is love And even though it may be small It is there where no fire was before Is love a flower if not watered will not survive Or is it eternal and needs nothing to stay alive

To Know Love
Sometimes I think I know, And then I remember I don't. When I'm in need it's always you But when I'm strong my need is gone What does that mean? Who are you to have this effect on me but still I am not allowed to truly love you When it appears you are no longer partly mine I yearn for you And when you have another to distract and occupy your mind you turn back to me every time How do I love you When will the penny drop Are you the one or are you not? To be around you now I feel that there has been love lost But still a fragment remains Enough to fill the hole upon my heart Others have tried to fill in vain The thought of you I fear Is a fantasy of heights Never to be reached by others Or worse by yourself Where is the line drawn on sacrifice and lovers less? Do you wait to find the certainty of every want Or at a point, And dare I say Settle on a lesser love How easy it would be to just love and be loved To know and be known No doubt No hesitation Just to purely, deeply, love another But alas it is not so To love it not a friend nor is it a foe But vague and uncertain It is blind Like walking through a foggy night You are the flicker of a flame in the spectrum that is love And even though it may be small It is there where no fire was before Is love a flower if not watered will not survive Or is it eternal and needs nothing to stay alive
