What Love Is.


I think i've found out what love is. My mom always told me love was being able to put someones life before your own. And i could do that in a heart beat for you. Thing is though. Love for me.. Is much deeper than that. It's chasing you around the house in our pjs.. The long romantic random kisses. It's the way you giggle at me when i don't know you're watching me do something stupid. It's the look i get from you when we're talking. It's the butterflies. The one in the morning texts. It's the way you lay cuddled up to my side. How when you sleep you snore softly. And that's one of my favorite sounds. It's the way you tie your shoes or how you can't have your socks on if your pants arent. It's the way you wiggle your nose when you have a hair or fuzz on your face. It's the way you look when your asleep. Peaceful almost. It's how you watch me out of the corner of your eyes when you don't think i'm watching. its just the way i feel around you.. It's the long walks in the park.. The way you find beauty in everything. it's the fact that we share so many interests. It's how you curl up in a ball when you try to hide. It's how you look like a little kid sometimes. So innocent. It's how you feel everything so deeply it kills me.. Its the way i feel Complete around you. Like no harm can come to me. 

It's the way i feel better when you're around. So i think that maybe that's what love is.. Feeling better just because the others there. You're presence in this world is all i need.. Even if we're hundreds of miles apart.. just knowing you're on this world.. Is enough.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."
