Concept

Love is a theory a concept a thought
Yet our knowledge of concept only reflects what's been taught

It's been written and spoken
as though it's essence could be touched

yet definition of a passion
can reveal just so much

The love I have for you is none of these things
It's akin to the moment birds discover there wings

Now I have told you I love,and can say it with a word
But for love to be true it must be more than just heard

Now i can surely say that you love me, this I can do
For when you say these words to me I believe them to be true

So when I tell you I love you,you will also know this is true
And this is because you believe in me as I believe in you
