To Love You

I thought I knew about love
From stories I read in books
Characters whose lives spread love as fiction
I thought I knew about love
From songs when I was young
Detailed broken hearted poetic rhythms
I thought I knew about love
From movies on the screen
Where dollars often forced a happy ending
I thought I knew about love
Oxytocin buzz
Snuggled in the cold another season

I've loved before
Not just for a minute
A decade and more
I showed love the door
Holding court
Make my own bed warm
When it's cold

How can you be
So much like me
How can it be
So easy
To love you

I thought I knew about love
From seeing patterns growing up
Sometimes choice and sometimes obligation
I thought I knew about love
From childhood religion
Subjugate desire for the Lord
I thought I knew about love
From sex and other drugs
Naked bodies stirring to the core
I thought I knew about love
Serotonin buzz
Can't think clearly can't employ my reason

I've loved before
Not just for a minute
A decade and more
I showed love the door
Holding court
Make my own bed warm
When it's cold

How can you be
So much like me
How can it be
So easy
To love you
To love you
To love you
To love you
To love you
