Love did come to me

But I wasn’t within reach 

And it wasn’t the love I knew

It wasn’t the ‘love letters type of love’

Or the ‘I bought you flowers’ type of love

Or the ‘kiss under the rain’, ‘sing you to sleep’, ‘write you poetry’ type of love

Instead, it was a love I didn’t recognise

A love I had never seen 

A love I couldn’t care less about 

But everyone seemed to envy this love I was promised 

So I naturally was curious

I opened a small window to my heart and let this love in.

It was warm, it was kind and it was polite 

But I knew it wouldn’t fill the void in my heart

Because you loved me in a language 

I would never understand!!!
