Love?
Don’t say you know
All there is to know
Because you never stop learning.
You see, you listen
You touch and you fall.
But don’t say you’ve seen
The most beautiful
Or heard the perfect melody
Or felt the only hand that fits yours
Or even that you’re the one
Who’s fallen the hardest.
Don’t say it because you’ve only just started.
Love?
Don’t say you know everything
Because you’ve never felt it deep
Inside your soul.
You’ve never had your pupils dilated
At the sight of something you want
Or the chills taking over your skin
At the sound of its voice.
You have yet to feel
The overcrowding of butterflies
Inside your stomach
And the weakness in your feet
And the trembling in your hands
And the heart refusing to calm down.
Love?
Don’t say you’ve already met it
Because if you did it would still be here
It would still be yours
It would have never left.
Love?
Don’t say you know everything
Because we’ve only just begun.
Don’t say you have felt it
Because the best is yet to come.
Don’t say that you’ve seen it
Because your eyes don’t know what they’re missing.
Love?
It’s only on its way.
