"How Do I Know?" It's true...I'm young Perhaps I don't know much However I know by your love That I need your touch I've loved a couple times Once or twice in the past However parts were always missing Love simply didn't last You ask me how I'm so sure That you are the one for me So today I finally Have an answer for thee I see our love in everything The rising of the Moon In the setting of the Sun With you...my life has now thus begun Call it faith or hope Name it whatever you will I just know what lives in my heart That these feelings are true and real This love that's in my heart Is like nothing I've ever felt before It's both exciting and scary I've never wanted anything more I feel your love so completely For the first time I feel whole I want to share my life with you I love you mind, heart, and soul Of course I have doubts I believe that we all do But those doubts don't minus The depth of love I feel for you Sometimes I feel you're pushing me away Though you say that is not the case I belong with you...you are my heart Why would I want to be in another place? You ask me about others Why don't I give them a chance? Over and over again You and I do this dance You asked me a question though One that has left me to think many a night What is it about YOU That creates in me this fight This fight for us to be together To share a life true and long For once in my life I feel That I have somewhere, I belong Somewhere in between the laughter and tears I fell so deeply in love with you Ours was the love from friendship Like a rose, it blossomed and grew I'm not saying I'll never love again But I do know I'll never love this way I won't dress this up Shakespeare style However I also know this is not child's play How is it I who is so young Has such a deep faith in love I just know how you make me feel Fit like hand in glove I know no beautiful sonnet To "sing" or "paint" to you Your presence I just feel with my soul Everywhere I go, and in everything I do I don't know if you feel the same You tell me that you do love me indeed Sometimes I question though Am I truly the one you need? Do you want me to release you Have you tired of your love for me Am I looking through rose colored glasses And the truth I can not see Or do you love me so Like you tell me that you do And are just scared You're not alone...I am too I'm scared one day I'm gonna wake up You're not going to be there anymore They'll be a Dear Amy letter I'll follow the tears to the door I look at my life, and all that has occurred Then I look at me and you You're like the compass I've been looking for These words I speak are true For you I'd go anywhere My blood I would shed I'd like nothing more than someday For us to be wed But perhaps I am the romantic fool And I do have it all wrong Perhaps it's the romantic in me That keeps me following your song I probably still haven't answered what you asked Why is it that I think you are the one? Well...maybe because when we fell in love Even though 24 years passed, my life had just begun You say this is just the beginning That how can I just know? You claim that you're holding me back Freeing me from being able to grow I think the real truth of the matter is You're scared that you and I wont last So you are trying to push me away Be done with it...quick and fast Only your heart won't let you do it It doesn't want to let you let me go I suppose I now have given you your answer That is how I know "but i see your true colors, shining through... i see your true colors and that's why i love you" ~phil collins~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 07-10-2001).] |

felt your heart in this one Amy.. take care  There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Age has little to do with love, this is so full of love, Amy, you did a wonderful job of letting your heart go free. |
