We think we know love
Growing up on fairy tales and sonnets
We think it is the thing
That will make us whole
To see the one
From across the room
The one who will save us
Sweep us off our feet
Carry us away
To happily ever after
I thought I knew love
Until I saw you
Until I saw you
My love was a dewdrop
Not a tsunami wave
You reshaped my heart
Made it stretch beyond its bounds
You cleaved me apart
With just one look
It took crawling through hazy clouds
Of inexplicable pain
Hours of torture
Holding on to your name
Waiting to hold you
Picturing your smile
You did not come willingly
But fate intervened
You fought the inevitable
The magnetic pull
It seemed like a dream
When you finally came
By body was battered
But my soul was alight
Looking into your eyes
For the very first time
I knew it was forever
That unbreakable tie
Of mother and daughter
Falling in love for the first time
