I Never Knew...

Sitting next to you, my laugh echoes in the hall.
Feeling the heat of your body, listening to your jokes.
I never knew that one could smile for no reason.
I never knew that one could feel a love this strong.

Even if at first, I hesitated to take your hand,
For I was afraid of being left alone, broken yet again.
Now I realize that taking a chance was the best thing
That could ever have happened to me, for I'm happy.

I smile simply by seeing you walk into a room.
I laugh simply by having you next to me.
The heat of your body warms my skin.
The smile on your face brightens my day.

Thanks to you, I have finally found happiness.
Thanks to you, I have discovered the meaning of love.
Thank you for showing me that one could smile for no reason.
Thank you for showing me that one could feel a love this strong.
