How Is It That I Love You?
I was lost in hopeless loneliness;
I was afraid and bitter and empty.
Every beat of my heart
Fell, shattering, to the ground.
And then you touched me.
I opened like a flower opens
When it feels the sun on its face.
I filled like a dry pool
Filling with cool rain.
You wandered around in my heart,
And I was not alone.
I love you with a love like a river
That flows with water running
Together from two springs.
