Everyone is always trying to explain what love is
Love is nothing and everything
It is the unseen beauty that keeps life flowing
Love is the thing that builds
Heartbreak is the thing that destroys
They are not the same
Love is the look of a weary soul coming home
After a long day and wanting
Just to rest,
Believing the night has nothing left to offer
But being delivered sustenance
Followed by quiet listening
Love is playing a game to ease the pain
Cuddling to ease the weariness that consumes
Destroy weariness, for it creates doubt,
Love is sleeping beside each other,
And laughing at each other
Because each night
Someone is being smooshed into the corner of the bed
Love is the tears of a petty fight
That erupts from jealousy
Love lurks in the fear of losing it all
Love is in hope
Whether it's only one of you
Or the both
Love is there
Love is in the idea of marriage
In the hopes it'll happen
and if it does or has that it will last forever
Love is in their eyes,
And how they try to crack a smile
Even when they feel down and depressed
Love is there
Love is here
I can never give up on such a wonderful thing
Love in the beginning
Love in the middle
Love in the end
And Love forever.
