Love and You - Rumi

and when I heard those stories of love,
my mind turns on you for a happy thoughts  
the distance narrows in
and the silence says more

no barrier may hinder
this emotion I have for you
race, distance nor even society
will not stop me however cynical they may be

listen to my heart 
the way it pounds when I hear your name
and look in my eyes 
the way I show you my soul

all those years I flirted with love
here and there I turn on searching
till you came along and show me those lies
you were with me all along unaware of who you are
LOVE since I was born until I met you it's YOU!
