Analysis of It Is Greater Than Love
When you're in front of me, my eyes shy away from you, but when you're not in front of me, my eyes constantly look for you... Are you the person who just walked past me? Or the stranger who smiled at me? Or the man sitting at the table beside mine?
What name do I give to this intense, overwhelming feeling... Love? No. It has no name yet.. But I know for sure that it is greater than love, better than love, and if possible, more liberating than love...
What no one has ever been able to see with their own eyes, I have seen it.. In your eyes I have seen, the entire universe.
