Love Doesn’t Wait for the Morning<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What?\u00a0 Trying it on for size?<\/p>\n

Trying to act surprised<\/p>\n

that touching someone unlike you<\/p>\n

feels so nice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You’re guessing again<\/p>\n

and it’s so simple my friend.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When loves comes,<\/p>\n

it never knocks twice –<\/p>\n

It just comes in.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Afraid?\u00a0 What will people say?<\/p>\n

Running to far hide-a-way places<\/p>\n

to bask in the joy of each other’s faces<\/p>\n

In the dark?\u00a0 Subtle traces<\/p>\n

of what is surely to be uncovered in the day<\/p>\n

Ahhhhhhhhh!<\/p>\n

You are placing wonder in a box<\/p>\n

as if you are a child at play.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ashamed?<\/p>\n

But love is not a childish game.<\/p>\n

Is being with the one you want,<\/p>\n

rejected by the world, a strain?<\/p>\n

You would rather please<\/p>\n

the maddening crowd,<\/p>\n

than experience the pain<\/p>\n

of standing for your soul<\/p>\n

mate and to the world<\/p>\n

Shout it out loud!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Love doesn’t wait for the morning,<\/p>\n

Neither does it hide at night!<\/p>\n

Love is perfect and entire<\/p>\n

and casts out fear<\/p>\n

whether timing is bad<\/p>\n

or just right.<\/p>\n

Take hold to love – own it<\/p>\n

before love is your<\/p>\n

“Once upon a time!’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Refrain:<\/p>\n

When your eyes meet<\/p>\n

Know that it is love.<\/p>\n

When your minds speak – Listen<\/p>\n

No other power can defeat<\/p>\n

The power of love.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
