Only Love Can Do That Poem by Tinashe Tavadiyi

Only Love Can Do That

Rating: 4.6


Only love can do that
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: Only light can do that,
Hate cannot drive out hate: Only love can do that.
What happened, some may call it a miracle,
There is only one explanation,
Only one way any of this could have happened,
Only love can do that.

You brought love exactly when it was needed.
You got something l need in this world full of people,
And if you only die once, I want to die with you
Only love can do that

Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you know where your fate is?
Are you trying to find it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think you that you lost it?
Bless my soul coz all those things are here with me
Only love can do that.
I open my mouth through ink between lines,
Just to say, l love you,
And only love can do that
