Now I Know...

love isn't explosion
though sometimes i hear them
love isn't whispers
though i know they are there
love isn't just a feeling
but this one sure is huge
love isn't untouchable
because i've touched it with you

love is like a flower
ever growing and changing
its fragrance sweetens the air
and lingers in your mind
love is like a fire
burning brightly in the night
warming those who draw near it
blinding those looking in its light
love is a daydream
fanciful yet oh so true
thrilling the dreamer with its visions
bringing a smile with its pictures

in you i see my daydreams
a fire drawing me to its warmth
fragrant as any rose
in you there is such an explosion
the touch of your whisper thrills me
and my emotions are riding high
your touch is what i dream for
you embody my love
what more can i say but
thank you.
