a love poem

Touched by Love

I knew I had been touched
by love...
the first time I saw you
and I felt your warmth
and heard your laughter.



I knew I had been touched
by love...
when I was hurting from
something that happened,
and you came alone
and made the hurt go away.

I knew I had been touched
by love...
when I quit making plans
with my friends
and started dreaming dreams
with you.

I knew I had been touched
by love...
when I stopped thinking in
terms of "me"
and started thinking in
terms of "we".


I knew I had been touched
by love...
when suddenly I couldn't make
decisions by myself anymore,
and I had this strong desire
to share everything with you.

I knew I had been touched
by love...
the first time we spent
alone together
and I knew I wanted to stay
with you forever...
because I had never felt
this touched by love.
