“Grandpa how do you know if you love someone?”
his granddaughter asked in a whisper soft and low
“That’s a hard question to answer,” her grandpa said,
"because in most cases you just know”.
“It starts with a feeling in your heart
which finds its way into your brain
and you begin to feel joy when that person feels joy
and pain when they feel pain.”
“And whenever you think about that person
wether they’re standing next to you…or from afar…
you cannot help but smile
because you know how lucky you are.”
And don’t you ever worry
when you feel love…you’ll know
and the minute that it grabs you
you’ll never want to let it go.”
"Do you understand?” her Grandpa asked.
his granddaughter smiled, “I do.”
Then she put her arms around his neck and said,
“Grandpa…I love you”.
Then she whispered in her Grandpa’s ear
another whisper soft and low
“Grandpa if it’s okay with you…
I never want to let you go.”
