Would You Know Love?

Would You Know Love?

By: Ben Draiman, November 22, 2010

Would you know love if you met him on the weekend?

Would you know love if he called you on the phone?

Were you thinking of how much better it would be

If the fears you had were gone?

What could be so wrong?

Would you know love if it disturbed your busy life?

Would you know love if there was some other place you had to be?

Would you place it above anything and everything?

Without any guarantee

And wait for it patiently

Would you know love if it wasn’t so damn obvious?

Would you know love if it knocked on your front door?

What kind of love was the kind that you were hoping for?

Always wanting more

With so much left to explore

Would you know love if love was all you had to find?

Would you know love if you could find the space?

Have you had enough and just can’t seem to bring yourself

To lose what can’t be replaced

To have all you love be erased

You cry sometimes, but God hardly listens

He won’t waste his time breaking down your walls

You try all the time to keep yourself well hidden

So scared one day you’ll fall

Or that you’ll cease to care at all.
