WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS IN LOVE

                                                          When I thought I was in love.

When I thought I was in love

My ears were closed to any admonition or counsel

My eyes were closed to any vision or sight

My mouth was closed to any communication or speech

When I thought I was in love

My emotions lost direction

My feelings lost their persuasion

My feet lost their steps

My mind lost its thoughts

When I thought I was in love

My world around me became tensed

The air I breathe became stale

The light around me became dim

When I thought I was in love

My life was headed in one direction

I was on a lonely path

Walking all alone

I wish I stopped for a moment

I wish I stopped for a reflection

Where was I going?
