I Know What Love Is

I know what seeing is! As I saw you that day for the first time So I know what liking is! I know what striking is! As I stroke stone against stone So I know what the spark is! I know what rubbing is! As I rubbed heart against heart So I know what love is! I know what caring is! As I had been used to it since we met So I know what soft touch is! I know what fire is! As I had been burning along with you So I know what nectar is! I know what compassion is! As I have experienced it with you So I know what affection is! I know what addiction is! As I have been addicted to the smell of you So I know what obsession is! I know what memory is! As I have experienced the break up So I know what the hurt is! I know what mistake is! As I have been the victim of misjudgement So I know what reconciliation is! I know what longing is! As I have suffered from emptiness So I know what she is! I know what losing is! As I have lost in the rough wind So I know what I miss!
