What Is This Feeling?

What is this feeling I have deep inside?
What can explain it, what can describe?
Is it happiness, joy, am I struck with awe?
It is all of these feelings, so deep and so raw.

I’m lost for words with this feeling of joy.
The feeling in knowing I’m not just a toy.
But a person, a human, a life it’s so true,
A person amazed by the person that’s you.

I’m hit by this feeling, so real and so bold.
Hit so hard that at times there’s no cold.
Instead there is promise, warmth and light,
The feeling in knowing it’s simply just right.

So what is this feeling, I ask you again?
I look inward for answers, I ponder and then,
The answer it hits me, as if from above,
This feeling I know, is true and pure love.
