Understanding love

I'll never forget it
the look on your face
how my life turned topside
and i couldn't believe it

something was wrong
something changed in that moment
and i didn't understand it
the man with my answers, had a question

it was only a glimpse
but i saw it
i saw pain, and grief
and a difference in his eyes

his carefree life
filled with laughter and fun
was different, was changed
was diverted
and it was scary

i was afraid
i didn't understand
but i wanted to help
i wanted to understand

when i saw the hurt,
i felt it
when i wanted to say something,
i couldn't

i didn't understand
but i wanted to

i can never forget
the sight of the suffering
the frown i wanted to turn
or the love,
my love, that i just wanted you to know

i don't understand
but i want too.
