Did I Teach You Love

I remember once you told me you had not known love before -- you had never known the feeling of wanting to know more about how lonely people had no one to take care of. Now I sometimes wonder -- Did I teach you love? Did you learn how empty hearts can soon be filled with care for someone else who comes along and suddenly finds them there. Did you learn how two hearts, with just a little shove, can find they are inseparable? Did I teach you love? When unexpected troubles cause a love to fade, can forgiveness intervene when hurting words are said? As a lovers' moon rises high to touch the stars above -- Will you tell me, honestly -- Did I teach you love?
