Before You Knew What Love Was

My love is like fine wine

So I let her breathe

We settle into silence

With the greatest ease

My love's like a chalice

So I lick the bowl

In quiet preparation

For a life time role

But if I slip up

She shakes my tree

By not letting me forget

When she says to me

I was loving you

Before you ever knew what love was

My love reads like poetry

Taken line by line

Though her rhyming meter

Throws me every time

My love is a flower

Of a different breed

And her fertile ground

Waits for my mystic seed

But do I get it

If I lose my way

Soon I do regret it

When I hear her say

I was loving you

Before you ever knew what love was

But do I get it

If I miss a beat

Ioon I do regret it

When she says to me

I was loving you

Before you ever knew what love was
