If I was asked to tell someone
The reasons that I love you
I’m not really sure I ever could
How does one put down into words
Something so fundamental
That the universe itself
Is built upon it?
Do you know how it is
You know to breathe
Or blink or see?
To explain these emotions
Is to try to explain the cosmos
Scientists have been working centuries
And keep finding secrets
That’s how it is to love you
A never-ending journey
Of discovery
I can no easier explain
What it is about you
Than the physics of the atom bomb
To a child that has no grasp
My feelings are such
An elemental force of who I am
That I don’t understand myself
I just know that they’re there
So yes, I love you
More than I could ever express
And more than I could ever explain
There are no words to understand it
Just know that it’s true
