Touched by Love

I knew I had been touched by love...
the first time I saw you
and I felt your warmth¹
and heard your laughter².

I knew I had been touchedby love...
when I was hurting from something that happened,
and you came alone and made the hurt go away.

I knew I had been touched by love...
when I quit making plans with my friends
and started dreaming dreams with you.

I knew I had been touchedby love...
when I stopped thinking in terms of "me"
and started thinking in terms of "we".

I knew I had been touched by love...
when suddenly I couldn't make decisions by myself anymore,
and I had this strong desire to share everything with you.

I knew I had been touched by love...
the first time we spent alone together
and I knew I wanted to stay with you forever...
because I had never felt this touched by love
