I Knew It Was Love

I knew it was love
when I couldn't stop
thinking about you.
Thoughts of you filled
my every hour
and spun the most
magnificent dreams.

I knew it was love
when your smile
put a fresh shine on
my tired world,
opening my eyes
to the beauty that's
all around and within.

I knew it was love
when I looked forward
to every dawn, hoping
to hear your voice,
to hold you hand,
to share with you.

I cherish your love.
