When do you know?

 

How do you know 
When you’re in love
Do you receive a text
From the man above?

 

Or do you get an IM
From almighty AI
Advising this is what you do
Follow the prompts to comply

 

Or is it something  apperceived
A strange feeling that’s good
That makes you act before you think
Do dumb shit before you should 

 

The heart knows who it wants
But some people don’t listen
your aura reciprocates without permission
You have a glow some say that glistens

 

It’s the ideal of not being lonely
A security if you will 
That someone always has your back
And that the emotions felt are real

 

It’s the hope that there’s a future
And they’re the only one you want
They’ve passed the checklist in your mind
Their defense doesn’t need a front

 

You know when you’re in love
When your children are on board
And you family is accepting
And your friends tell you you’ve scored

 

Your heart will always tell you
When it’s time to hang your hat
And you will know when you’re in love
When you’re happy right where you’re at.
