Experience (Short version)

Living brings about experience
Experience brings about wisdom
Wisdom brings about perspective
Perspective brings about understanding
 
I saw you
And I wanted you
Swore in my soul that I needed you
 
You felt for me
Then fell for me
And came to love me as much as I do you
 
Don't know how that happened

Young,
Inexperienced,  
and, obviously,  
Lucky as F#%k
 
Just stumbling  
bumbling  
fumbling 'round in the dark  
(what's that country saying bout "blind hogs and an acorn"?)  
 
I knew exactly what I'd gotten
But had no real clue what I actually had  
 
You love me passionately
Unreservedly
So I can understand that what your body does for me
Adds meaning to how your heart speaks to me
Letting touch tell my soul what mere words cannot convey
Transforming feeling into a tangible thing That speaks loudly to me across whatever distances separate us
 
I have always needed you
But experience has brought forth appreciation
From what was, originally,
a purely visual fixation

Thank You
