Something Called Love

By Jaspreet Gaga

Never knew being attached to someone
Could set me free.

Never knew seeing the world through someone's eyes
Could make it complete.

Never knew putting in all my energy for someone
Could help me revive.

Never knew making someone happy
Could be the fulfillment I needed in my life.

Never knew a moment with someone
Could slow down time.

Never knew growing old with someone
Could fill me up with more life.

I can't blame myself
For this ignorance.
After all, you were a dream
I never knew could become my reality.

A bird can only dream to explore the ocean,
A fish can only dream to explore the sky,
While a man can only dream to explore himself
Through someone-
With something called love
In his life.

I still don't know
How I was so sure.
I still don't know
How did I not give up.

All I know is-
If I wake up tomorrow
Realizing this was all just a dream,
I'll find my way to you,
And
I'm sure
I won't give up.

A beautiful dream,
A precious reality,
For which-
Even as a bird, I’ll swim.
Even as a fish, I’ll fly.
To find you.
To find
Something called love
In my life.
