I use to think it a myth

Long before I knew

And how it must feel

Just to be so real

I never understood

The pure essence

Of one's soul

Shared with another

In love two kindred souls

I only ever knew

Of hatred from within

My heart bleed a thousand times

And misery knew no end

But then he taught me how to love

An experience I won't regret

The tenderness he gave to me

Mended my broken heart

He taught me how to breathe again

He taught me how to love

He gave me back my soul

He made me understand

The meaning of that word

Love.......that word...so tender

Love.......that made me catch my breath

As it caresses my wounded pride

And makes me forget

The hatred buried deep inside
