I thought I was going to find love wrapped in a woman's arms
     holding hands down every street
     falling asleep with her head between my shoulder blades and
     her arm across my stomach
     pecking kisses every single chance we got
     watching my every move with a stupid grin,
     but for me that wasn't enough

I thought I was going to find love keeping a woman above water
     serving the purpose of serving her
     receiving kisses only when she is in the mood
     holding hands down every hall
     faking a smile when she won't even try,
     but love has two sides and I matter too

I thought I wasn't going to find love
     nobody could fill my expectations of love
     so many contradictions that a solution wasn't clear
     there were things from both I still wanted,
     but I didn't know what to expect when I stopped expecting
     anything

I thought love was just one thing for everyone
     that how I felt was the same way everyone in love felt
     that love was more about physical contact than emotional
     connection
     that every love I would ever have would look the same,
     but it wasn't true

Because I found that love is so much more than that
     it is different for everyone and varies between partners
     it is complicated and intoxicating in ways I never could've
     imagined
     it is important to be able to talk with who you love and touch
     them often enough to never forget
     it is the most unnaturally natural thing about being human
And I found it in you.
