Epiphony

Love,

I didn’t know,

That you were always there;

In the touch of hands between friends,

In the embrace of family.

I didn’t know,

That you were so quiet;

When he left flowers by the door,

When she tucked in her sleeping son.

I didn’t know

That you could grow so much;

A strong conviction of what’s true,

A lighthouse beaming in the dark.

I am sorry,

I’ve spent my life chasing;

A love that was superficial,

When real love was already there.
