Never knew

I never knew what love meant
until you touched my life.
You give life it's self-meaning and purpose.
With the whisper of your name
the birds sing no more,
or perhaps I loose the ability
to hear their song.
My heart longs only for the sound
of your voice,
and the touch of your silky, soft hand.
I never knew life could be so full.
I never knew love could be so real.
I never knew what happiness was
until I new your love, dear.
With every breath I breathe,
with every beat of my heart,
my eternal soul agrees...
I never knew live until I knew your love.
