I Know Who Love Is

But what if I lied? 
What if I tried, 
But not hard enough? 
I never thought that my heart was large enough, 
....To love, 
See, to me, 
Love is a mutual thing, 
You don't just love on your own, 
You love from being loved. 
It's never just a fling, 
Just a thing, 
That happened. 
It's love! 
And love will never leave. 
Instead it has the power to lead, 
Into what you believe, 
It's so hard to keep it hid, 
I know this, 
Because I did, and 
I think I lost the bid, 
See at the time, 
I was off the grid, 
But then I realized I couldn't rid, 
The thought of his grin, 
His eyes, 
His body, 
His mind, 
I was running out of time, 
....For love. 
Yeah, I know he knew, 
It was as obvious as two left shoes, 
But neither of us knew what to do, 
With this love, 
So we ignored it, 
And avoided it, 
I wish we would have done more with it, 
But, we pretty much just threw it away. 
So here I am today, 
Without a solution, 
In the prayers that I pray, 
I ask for conclusions, and 
Maybe this illusion won't alter my day, 
So keep me in mind, 
When you're taking your time, 
Because time is a terrible thing to waist, 
And while it's right there in front of you, 
You will miss it, 
I promise you... 
Love has a very familiar face.
