Is This Love?


God, Is this Love? 

I want to give you the world I don't have

I want us to plan our future together in detail

I want you to be happy without me but happier with me 

I want to take care of you

From kissing your scars to holding your hand

I want to put the blanket on you while you sleep

I want to make sure you've eaten, and cook for you if you haven't 

I want to hold you while you cry and kiss you when you're low

Your pain is my pain

Your happiness is my happiness

You make me feel clothed when I'm fully naked

To have you as a lover and a best friend 

To know what you're feeling with just one glance

To communicate my feelings instead of bottling them up 

The things you do for me

The things I do for you 

This has to be love. 

Even in anger, we will try to understand. 

For at the end of everyday in mine, will be your hand

This is Love
