I did not know what love was
When you told me that you loved me
Inside my heart began to buzz
Without knowing what this could be.
I smiled and felt myself blush
Though your affection for me was clear
As emotions inside of me rushed
My understanding was far from there
With gestures that were overly charming
You brought me chocolates and roses
Called me sweetheart and darling
And took me out to see late night shows
I began to feel more comfortable around you
And learnt that you liked the colour green
But still everything for me felt new
I was hardly the lovesick teen
I had stopped anyone from growing close to me
You knew that I had been hurt before
Hands over eyes I really failed to see
You softly kiss every part that was sore
You watched chick-flicks with me in stormy weather
Opened doors for me to walk through
You held my hand whenever we were together
Lent me your sweatshirt when it was cool
I said that there was no need and often tried to resist
But then one day you turned to me and said
“This is what love is.”
