I always assumed I wasn't capable to love
Not romantically anyway
Not one lover managed to stay
Love seemed a film element I could only dream off

So I faked my feelings for them all
Silently building my defence wall
Waiting for a brave knight to come along
Who would finally be able to prove me wrong

One day that knight actually appeared
And helped me realise that loving someone isn't as scary as I feared
Maybe that is because he wasn't a knight
But a prisoner reaching for the light

Yet in the end I wasn't his light, he was mine
As it was I who sat in the dark thinking all was fine
But searching for love in the dark is quite hard
When you never open up your heart

Thanks to him I've finally figured that out
And I'm not afraid to say out loud
That I am indescribably, madly in love with you
And I'm convinced that you do too
This poem is written for the man who made me believe that love actually does excist.
