All you need is love

A wise man and poet once said "All you need is love."
I never knew what this meant before I met her
I thought "A person needs food, and water, and shelter."
"Nobody can survive on love alone."
But now I know what he meant.
You can be poor, you can be low
You can be sad or in pain
But all the thoughts of that fade
If only for a while
When you first realize you love her
And it happens again when you realize
She really does love you back.
The world looks crisper
The pain recedes
You forget your troubles.
I may not be a wise man
I may not be a poet
But what I do know for sure
Is that when that moment comes
All you need is love
