Something We Call Love.

I want to love you,

But love you without fear,

Never hide what I hold dear;

Show it for the world to see,

So they can understand

That I want you in a way

That even with my flaws,

I still carry in my chest

Something we call love.

And if time tries

To pull us far away,

I'll stay steady on my path,

You're the North I choose each day.

Cause every early morning

My heart reaches out to you,

It calls you in the silence,

It finds you in what's true.

And when the world feels cold and dim,

Your arms become my place to stay,

They fill the emptiness within,

Turn the darkness into day.

I'm gonna love you slowly,

With no fear of what may come,

Love you the way life taught me,

With a heart that won't go numb.

In the brightness of your eyes

I discover who I am,

Every word I say turns poetry

When your name becomes my flame.

Even if the strong winds blow,

Even if the world shifts course,

Your love is still my compass,

Your smile is my force.

I'm gonna love you slowly,

With no fear of what may come,

Love you in this life forever,

In whatever we become.

And if someone asks me

What changed me so much inside,

I'll say it all began with you,

And the love we cannot hide.
