The Love Plateau
How can one ever describe real love
An all consuming ache for someone
A feeling that's difficult to describe in words
It defies cliches and interpretations
In reality it captures the honest simplicity
The basis of what life is about
It's the best description anyone's come up with
Plain and simple without a doubt
When it finally happens, it's never a question
Feelings deep down let's you know
That this one's a keeper so hang on for dear life
You're approaching the love plateau
Where life for the first time has real meaning
Finally everything falls into place
From that point forward true happiness reigns
Can't wipe the smile from my face
The things that seemed so important before
No longer have any urgency
Down for the count, there's no turning back
A love that lasts for eternity
