Because, I Have Loved

When love takes a hold of you, Grab and take a hold of it, Love, I remember as if it were yesterday when we met, When I said hello, When we first kiss, those are memories I miss most, And if my heart stays frozen, Then no dusk fireballs have warmed it, But, that I can not say, It sat plump in the heart of inferno, It danced the devils dance around fires with God watching, Love keeps it there where it is flaming hot, Once it has you, then you have it, Once you have it, then it has you, Love bounces hearts from cloud to cloud to cloud, It will not let them touch the ground, And when the beating drums stop, When the marching band reaches its final route, Hearts will burst with anticipation, Leaping gazelle’s will leap into the lion’s mouth, And they will both be one, This is certain about love, It doesn’t tell you its secrets upfront, It encourages self-discovery, And when you think you know it, You don’t, One thing that is always certain, When you have loved, When you have been loved, The spirit desires it always, This, I know, Because, I have loved.
