The Wavering Words of A Blissful Heart

Every heart has a path

One on which it will get lost

And very confused

It'll get scratched by the thorns

And cold from the strong wind

But if you're one in a million

And there are 7 million here

There are 6 others like you

And they're all lost too

 

What is love?

What's it about?

Is it about security?

Lust?

Pity?

Desire?

I think it's something you don't know

Until it finds you

And then you still won't understand

Because you'll be too busy being consumed by it

And the lovely feelings will engulf your soul

 

There's gotta be one person out there

Who truly cares for me

Even if they don't know just yet

Because i can feel them weep when i'm hurt

And laugh at my jokes that are never funny

He holds me when i need someone strong

And keeps me warm when i'm cold

When the world turns it's back on me

He grabs my hand

And makes me touch the sky

Just for a little

So i can see the bright side

 

He's not looking for me

Nor am i for him

But i see him in the twinkling of the distant city

Just outside my nighttime window

We'll live there together one day

With beautiful babies

That have beautiful smiles

And eyes of diamond

 

That's what love is

To me.
