You know that part
Of figuring out what
You do want is
Experiencing what you don’t
The heart is like
The tongue in order
To learn what you
Like you’ve got to
Be brave enough to
Take that first bite
You know that part
Of figuring out what
You do want is
Experiencing what you don’t
The heart is like
The tongue in order
To learn what you
Like you’ve got to
Be brave enough to
Take that first bite
Love knows no age
Nor does it know
Time it doesn’t recognize
Distance nor does it
Ever really make rhyme
It’s never ever easy
And it’s always surprising
Love is like air
After drowning it’s like
Water after running it’s
Like fire after freezing
Love is a blanket
That someone covers you
With while you’re napping
Love is so many
Things that if we
Just stopped to think
For a moment we’d
Realize that yes we’ve
Been in love so
Many many times before
Starting with our mom
And so we had
What we thought that
We should have had
But now having had
What we actually thought
Was ours to have
We sit here wondering
Wasn’t it better then
When we were hoping
Rather than actually having
Had what we wanted
Why is it that
The anticipation of things
Seems to always be
Better than the thing
Itself it’s like after
The zip boom bah
And oh ooo ah
We go back to
The huh hmm blah
Not much to say
But I must write
It’s been a day
In its own right
One more flight delay
Yet another seat fight
I will say hey
Before it strikes midnight
There is a difference
Between young and old
Younger seem to play
Never understanding the consequences
Although they are present
Older on the other
Hand are cautious having
Been bitten by life
Experience causes one’s hesitation
To step into darkness
While those younger run
Headlong into the shadows
Perhaps the best thing
To be is one
With the experience of
Knowing better but the
Will of curiosity available
One of a curious mind
A young heart and
Possessing an ancient soul
