Now I Know
Love touched me rarely in my past
But love was only what I thought it was
I thought about them, felt so strongly
But it was only obsession or infatuation
I would have done anything for them
Except really talk to them
It’s not love if they don’t love you back
Now that I have real love, I know
I felt the butterflies
I felt the fear
I felt my heart pound out of control
If I saw them now, would I feel that way again? Was it love?
It was missing something
the contentment of being in their arms
I wouldn’t give up what I have today for the past
Now that I have real love, I know
I’ve learned from them
It’s not love if they don’t love you back
I love them for that
Don’t let fate take hold of you
I learned from them to do it yourself
Take a chance or risk never having what you really want
Now that I have real love, I know
After heartbreak caused by groundless feelings
I saw hope right in front of me
This time I knew it had to happen
I was ready, so I opened my heart to uncertainty
True love finally touched me
Now that I have real love, I know
It’s almost like I knew it would be love right away
But love at first sight?
That’s what I thought about them in the past
It’s not love if they don’t love you back
Love happens, but it takes time
You feel everything in your heart
But you know it’s right in your head, too
Love is trusting the other person no matter what
Now that I have real love, I know
