I never understood what love is

I never understood what love is
until you appeared in my dreams

I never understood what love is
until you held my hand and smiled

I never understood what love is
until you walked with me back home

I never understood what love is
until I smelled your scent in every flower

I never understood what love is
until you travelled away without me

I never understood what love is
until I cried in solitude after you

I never understood what love is
until I saw your eyes drowned in tears

I never understood what love is
until my entire existence hurt when you fell

I never understood what love is
until my soul was wounded to see you betrayed

I never understood what love is
until my heart was kept awake in your remembrance

I never understood what love is
until I saw your form in every beauty

I never understood what love is
until your silence spoke with me

I never understood what love is
until your prayers guarded my back

I never understood what love is
until I burnt away in your light

I never understood what love is
until I kissed the face of the Sun

Dedicated to my master
