How do we know?
How do we know we are in love?
When it is something we cannot see?
How can we tell that we are loved?
When those who love us do not show us?
But I will tell you how we know.
We know because we fell safe
When we are around those we love.
We fell respected and admired by those who love us.
And we honor and protect those we love.
But love is such a fragile thing.
A feeling that we all posses.
Yet some of us ignore these feelings.
Making them cold and emotionless.
Now, when the right person shows up
Or when the right situation comes along.
They will finally open up.
And show the true person inside the cold exterior
This is the person we will all love.
This is the person we will all admire.
This is the person we will all respect.
This is the person we will all honor.
This is the person we will all feel safe around.
This is the person we will protect.
