Try explaining time in a room without a clock. Try explaining it to a person who has never heard birds chirp and has never seen the sun rise or set.

Try explaining distance in a room without walls. Try explaining it to a person who has never used a ruler, to someone who lacks depth perception.

Try explaining color in a concrete room with just a black board. Try explaining it to the blind, to a new born baby that has yet to open it's eyes.

Try explaining home without saying a house. Try explaining it to a person who has moved their whole life to someone who has no idea where they will sleep at night.

Try explaining love in an orphanage. Try explaining it to a person who was raised by a nanny, to someone who has never been kissed has never held the hand of anyone.

Try explaining all these things. Recognize how all the things we knew all our lives are sometimes the things we never will understand.

We won't understand until,
It was to late,
It wasn't close enough,
It wasn't the right shade,
It was nothing more than a building,
And love only exist when someone gives it meaning.
