I Am Engulfed
And then... there is LOVE
That overwhelming, “take over your every thought” love
That longing to “forever be in someone's arms” love
That “I can't function without you” love
Anyone who has truly known this love
Knows exactly what I'm writing of
It's overwhelming down to the core
It engulfs us
Nothing else is of any consequence
It's all-consuming, life-changing, it gives reason for life
Through the years, I thought I had experienced it
I was wrong
Nothing compares in the slightest
To the love, I feel now
For the sweetest lady, I have ever had the good fortune to know
I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth
I won't question why
I will just revel in its warmth, in the sheer and utter ecstasy
Nothing will ever equal this rapturous feeling
This unequaled joy
After meeting and having the love of the sweetest person I have ever known
I have now lived life to the fullest
There is no longer anything greater
There is love
And then... there is LOVE
An overwhelming sensation that can't be described
I am engulfed
