It Was All of That
I thought it was the words,
but it was more than that
I thought it was the feelings,
but it was more than that
I thought it was the understanding,
but it was more than that
And I thought it was the insight,
but it was more than that
I thought it was the lyric,
but it was more than that
I then thought it was the melody,
but it was more than that
I thought it was the joy they brought,
but it was more than that
And I thought it was the talk I talked,
but it was more than that
I thought it was the times,
but it was more than that
I thought it was the friendship,
but it was more than that
I thought it was the love,
but it was even more than that
And on the day that I stopped
thinking
—it was all of that!
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)
