What is Love?


What is love?

It is feeling like home is your eyes and

Listening to your heartbeat

-----It is wanting my heart to

-----Stop beating from the agony.

It is smelling your hoodie and

Smiling at the comfort.

-----It is smelling your cologne on the street and

-----Suddenly feeling broken and confused

It is receiving little love letters

Showing me how much I can impact your

Small little world.

-----It is my eyes filling with visible hope

-----Everytime my phone chimes,

-----Thinking it’s a text from you, saying you miss me.

It is wanting to live forever

With you by my side.

------It is wanting to stop living my life

------Because you are not by my side.

It is feeling like I am falling

Into clouds,

Because that is how your love is,

Soft, comforting, inviting, and mine.

-----It is feeling like falling

-----Into shards of glass

-----Because that is how your love is,

-----Broken, dangerous, painful, and deadly.

My life has become better

Since the day I found you

I cannot wait to love you

For the rest of my blissful life

-----My life has been miserable

-----Since the day you showed my youself

-----And yet, I would rather not live at all

-----Than to live without you
