I do not understand love.
That is why I place myself before your eyes.
I do not understand love.
That is why I desire for you to behold me in all of my complexities.
I do not understand love.
For all I have ever given is lust.

I do understand love.
That is why I pray for you instead of allowing my heart to brood over you.
I do not understand love.
So I will try my utmost best to not gaze at you.

I do not understand love,
But I do understand that there is no future for you and I.
I do not understand love.
But, I do understand that you are going places that I have not yet been called to venture into.

I do not understand love But I understand that I am here to speak life into you.
I do not understand love,
Yet I Love You enough to not hold onto the version of a man that I have turned you into.
