Love Sprung

Love Sprung

 

Nothing anybody told me when I left the house that day

Could have helped me anticipate

Having an angel standing right in front of my face

But there you were

The first moment I saw you I just couldn’t help

But smile a little bit to myself

I was caught completely unawares

But God had finally answered my prayers

 

But I’m sceptical

So I stayed away from you

Thought if I ignored it

Then my love for you would be less true

I say a thousand times

We were never meant to be

I’m not trying to convince you

I’m working on convincing me

Convince myself that I’m just not the fall in love kind of man

But little did I know that me falling for you

Was only the beginning of Gods plan

 

What followed next

Was the a series of complex

Attempts to get your attention

But I made so many mistakes

That my name brought nothing to you but tension

 

So I asked God is love true?

After all the things I been through

After all things I lost could I not please keep you

 

I gave up so many times

Gave in to my frustration

But then you grace me with your smile

Hope is ignited in my heart

I brush the dust of my shoulders

And line up again at the start

 

You ask what I like about you.

Your smile

The way you talk

The way you walk

The way your voices freezes time for a while

The way your presence blossoms rose buds

The way your touch heals more than anything else does

The way you’re always there when I need you

And even when the worst happens you keep me optimistic

I love the way you smile twice

Just in case I missed it

You laugh and tell me to tell you the truth

The truth:

There aren’t enough stars in the sky to count the reasons I have for loving you

 

Sitting thinking about it now

It just doesn’t make sense how

I ended up falling for you

But as they say

Its when you least expect it, that you’re hit with a love that’s really true

And I swear to God right now

I wasn’t looking for love when I fell for you

I had no idea I would meet

A woman strong enough

To sweep me off my feet

 

Did you know

That I never show

How happy you make me

Each and every day

There is so much I want to say

But emotions so strong would surely chase you away

And the thought of not being with you drives me insane

And causes me pain

If you felt my heart

You would know it doesn’t beat

It just hums your name.
