To Understand

I look in the mirror and I see it in my eyes,
I start to feel it in my heart,
It's all things that can make a man cry,
It is distance that we part
 
I didn’t think it would take much for you to realize,
To read between the lines,
To look deeper inside,
Take the time,
For us to confide
 
Its love I wish to share,
It's something fragile I need to give,
So please listen, take a chair,
My life...with you, I want to live
 
One second, one minute, one moment,
I want you to give me,
To show you what I’m worth,
To get you to believe
Cupid has given me a curse,
Of falling in love with the first I see
 
I’m sickened by you, I need a love nurse,
I really think I do, I do
They say that some phenom makes your heart skip a beat,
And I know it’s because of you
 
The thought of love, passion, or desire,
I think of it as love's heart burn,
Because my heart finds you hot like fire,
For the love teacher, I have already learned
 
Now I want to quit wasting time and actually experience it,
They say choose where your heart takes you,
So I try things a bit,
Because your heart is known to seek truth,
And I followed my hearts footsteps
It lead me to where I met you...
