I THOUGHT I KNEW

I thought I knew soft,a downy pillow beneath my tired head,a teddy bear for a lonely child,a playful little puppy.....Then I felt your skin,and I realized how little I knew.I thought I knew warm,the sun on my back on a mid-summers day,a crackling fire on a cold winter night,home baked apple pie fresh out of the oven.....Then you touched me and I realized how little I knew.I thought I knew beauty,one thousand stars in a blackened sky,fire works on the Fourth of July,a spring flower in full bloom.....Then  I looked in your eyes and I realized how little I knew.I thought I knew a thrill,to win the race that meant so much,to ride a roller coaster from the top down,to play rock'n'roll for an appreciative crowd.....Then we kissed and I realized how little I knew.
