I Know This Much Is True

There are a lot of things in this world.
Things totally beyond my knowledge and comprehension.
There are some things though, that I do know.

I know this much is true.

Our heart works tirelessly from the moment it starts till the moment we die. It contracts rhythmically, pumping blood through four main chambers, circulating through the veins and arteries of our bodies.
It doesn’t explain why mine stops when you’re there. Why a simple smile can make it skip several beats, yet I live on for the moment you can do it again.

I know this much is true.

Light is an essential part of our lives, travelling at 299,792,458 metres per second. Light is made of particles which form waves and is a type of energy. It can produce heat, refract, reflect, create colour and be absorbed.
It doesn’t explain why light stops when it reaches you, and dims everywhere else. Why when you’re around all I can see is you.

I know this much is true.

Our lungs are what help us breathe air and keep us alive. Through the process of inhaling and exhaling we send oxygen to the cells and dispel carbon dioxide. Our lungs help us laugh, cry, shout, talk and sing.
It doesn’t explain why your mere presence can take my breath away. Why your touch can make it come even faster.

I know this much is true.

The earth is the third planet from the sun. It takes 24 hours for it to complete a rotation on its axis and 365 days for it to complete an orbit around the sun, travelling at 108 000 kilometres an hour.
It doesn’t explain why the rest of the world seems to stop when we’re alone together. Why you become the centre of mine.

I don’t know how you do what you do.
But I know this much is true.
I’m so in love with you.
