do you have to feel scared
to be in love?
i've known you for so long,
that all i feel is comfort
and safety.

do you have to feel butterflies
to be in love?
when i think of you, they flutter around,
but when i look at you,
there are none.

what is the true definition of love?
because when i look at you,
i see someone so beautiful,
so caring,
so fragile,
all i want to do is hold you close.

am i in love?
or am i in love with the idea of you?
