perfect

if only you knew love
not about love
not of love
but love

if only you knew how much of it there is
how forgiving it is
how pure it is
how free it is

if only you knew how it looked
how compassionately
how blamelessly
how patiently

if only you knew these things.

then maybe you would know freedom
would know grace
would know faith
would know hope

but mostly, maybe you would know love
