Call It Love
Our eyes lock
and million emotions are stirred in me;
Feeling of destiny and the thought
that nothing so perfect could ever be.
I talked to you just hours ago,
and yet already I'm missing you;
other than in fairy tales,
could a love like this ever be true?
The face I'd known for years
is suddenly the face in all my dreams,
and suddenly you've shown me that love
is not just a storybook theme.
Eyes that were not looking for it
suddenly found a kindred heart,
and now I'm missing a piece of me
whenever we're apart.
I'm a little scared
because all of this is so new,
and yet I've never felt so safe before
as I do when I'm with you.
Understanding this
would be like trying to map out the stars,
who knows what happens that moment
when the distance is crossed between two hearts.
All I know is that you're there
in a place of me I didn't know there was;
and although a word couldn't possibly describe this feeling,
for lack of one I'll call it love.
