Love? Don’t say you know All there is to know Because you never stop learning. You see, you listen You touch and you fall. But don’t say you’ve seen The most beautiful Or heard the perfect melody Or felt the only hand that fits yours Or even that you’re the one Who’s fallen the hardest. Don’t say it because you’ve only just started. Love? Don’t say you know everything Because you’ve never felt it deep Inside your soul. You’ve never had your pupils dilated At the sight of something you want Or the chills taking over your skin At the sound of its voice. You have yet to feel The overcrowding of butterflies Inside your stomach And the weakness in your feet And the trembling in your hands And the heart refusing to calm down. Love? Don’t say you’ve already met it Because if you did it would still be here It would still be yours It would have never left. Love? Don’t say you know everything Because we’ve only just begun. Don’t say you have felt it Because the best is yet to come. Don’t say that you’ve seen it Because your eyes don’t know what they’re missing. Love? It’s only on its way.

Don't Say You Know
Love? Don’t say you know All there is to know Because you never stop learning. You see, you listen You touch and you fall. But don’t say you’ve seen The most beautiful Or heard the perfect melody Or felt the only hand that fits yours Or even that you’re the one Who’s fallen the hardest. Don’t say it because you’ve only just started. Love? Don’t say you know everything Because you’ve never felt it deep Inside your soul. You’ve never had your pupils dilated At the sight of something you want Or the chills taking over your skin At the sound of its voice. You have yet to feel The overcrowding of butterflies Inside your stomach And the weakness in your feet And the trembling in your hands And the heart refusing to calm down. Love? Don’t say you’ve already met it Because if you did it would still be here It would still be yours It would have never left. Love? Don’t say you know everything Because we’ve only just begun. Don’t say you have felt it Because the best is yet to come. Don’t say that you’ve seen it Because your eyes don’t know what they’re missing. Love? It’s only on its way.
