I wonder what it's like to fall in love
I wonder what it's like to marry your best friend
I wonder what it's like to wake up with love in your eyes

I wonder what it's like to get flowers on Valentine's Day
I wonder what it's like to listen to love songs and understand it
I wonder what it's like to wake up with "I love you" texts

How does something so abstract hurt you or heal you?
How does something you can't touch have the ability to **** you?
How does one open their heart to such danger?

What is love?  
What does the word even mean?
Why can't I feel it?  

Tell me world.
What is like to marry the person you love?
What is like to make a commitment that could **** you inside?

How do you not run from such danger?
How do you stay through a storm?
How are you willing to stay through such hard times?

What does it feel like?
To be there through it all.
To look upon a face and know that's the one you want for the rest of your time here
