You Just Know As the leaves fall they know it is Autumn As the Sun rises she knows it’s daytime As animals mate, they know it’s time to reproduce Is that what it means? How do you describe the feeling it brings? How do you base a life commitment on a feeling If you are wrong you will always be dealing… You just know… Ohhh man my brain is crying I need someone to describe to me Without all this lying It has to be more to it than that There has to be more facts When I found you, I was constantly smiling You entered the room and my love started piling We talk for hours and built each other up We were willing to admit when we messed up We stand alone strong But together we are stronger Every time we see each other our feelings grow fonder There are ups and downs But we learn from mistakes We respect one another whatever it takes In any given situation we survive And we know we can make it through any problem that flies I love you and you love me Although we may not always be together happily We can make it And our bond is not faked HOWEVER… The rest of my life is a big deal, How do I know in 20 years how I’ll feel? And then it dawned on me… Your brain is not involved Your body tells you, You have no say in the matter, do you? It is in your gut Gut tells Heart to step it up Heart becomes one with Gut and swells beyond recognition And you realize what you are feeling is not fiction. How do you know? You can’t think about it… Do you think about how to smile or how to cry? It just happens, you just know. When Brain interferes, it means Gut has fears. In a situation that is right, Gut doesn’t hesitate or fight. Just like you know when you have to eat Just like you know you need to sleep Just like a baby knows when it is time to leave its mother’s womb Just like God blesses the day with Rain to feed the land… Your body tells you. There are no questions, it just feels right. When I found you, I stopped wondering. Gut said, “Heart, it is time!” So, how do you know when you have found the one? You just know. - M.
