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
soon I do regret it
when she says to me

I was loving you
Before you ever knew what
Love was
