I know the pain of an aching heart
     the sadness that comes with love
     despite the overwhelming joy it brings
I know love is like a rainfall
     grey and overcast with sorrow
     yet life-bringing and refreshing
I know that love is complicated
     never understanding why and when you fell
     but only that you did, and hard
I know what it is to love, but never lose
     because it was never returned in the first place
     and now I am left with a heart that cannot break
I know the secrets of the heart
     that there is nothing more powerful than love
     and that love is both pain and relief
I know what the songs say
     because love is the glass through which I see
     and each lyric penetrates like cold iron or ice
I know what love comes slow, and fast
     because the seeds take root for years
     but in a day, the flowers can blossom
I know what love does to the heart
     it gently washes away at you like waves on a shore
     until you are nothing left than a hopeless romantic
I know that love is hope
     hope that one day I will have the courage to tell her
     hope that one day I will confess my love
I know what love is
     because I fell hard in it
     and am still in Love
