Was This Love I Wondered

A feeling so raw, so real
Everything seems surreal

An emotion deep down
A sensation so unknown

Was this love I wondered?
A pull, a tug of the heart

As though struck with a dart
Deep and vast like the ocean

A thought and an intuition
Was this love I wondered?

The twinkle of stars in the sky
So beautiful I wonder why

Nature at once felt so beckoning
Its beauty I felt was so alluring

Was this love I wondered?
A spring and bounce in my step

I felt so full of pep
Love for life, love for someone

A desire to live and be the one
To hold a hand and gaze at the moon

With thoughts of time flying too soon
If this was love,

I needn’t wonder why
Neither a tear nor a cry

Smile and laughter was all I knew
In my mind I felt anew

This was love I felt so sure
A feeling so deep and so pure
