It was when I met you,
when I understood love song
and why couples danced with each other.
I understood kissing and why it was the most beautiful thing.
I understood why heartbroken people cried
and why they stayed away from everyone when their hearts shattered
because they needed their space
to fill it with the voice of their lover who left
and the memories to bring their hearts' pieces together
then break them again.
It was when I met you,
when I understood what life was all about
and why people stayed late at night thinking about that someone.
