Touched by Love

I knew I had been touched

by love...

the first time I saw you

and I felt your warmth

and heard your laughter.

I knew I had been touched

by love...

when I was hurting from

something that happened,

and you came alone

and made the hurt go away.

I knew I had been touched

by love...

when I quit making plans

with my friends

and started dreaming dreams

with you.

I knew I had been touched

by love...

when I stopped thinking in

terms of "me"

and started thinking in

terms of "we".

I knew I had been touched

by love...

when suddenly I couldn't make

decisions by myself anymore,

and I had this strong desire

to share everything with you.

I knew I had been touched

by love...

the first time we spent

alone together

and I knew I wanted to stay

with you forever...

because I had never felt

this touched by love.
