Love is the kind of thing you read about
Love is the kind of thing you dream about

But to experience...

Help me find words to rationalize the feeling of love


When every kiss holds meaning behind sealed lips
When every hug warms the body like hot chocolate on a snow day
When every smile gathers heat to your cheeks
When every laugh tattoos memories
When every tear beckons death

Electrifying the sensation of touch, from an innocent hand-hold to a loving palm that rests on my cheek, supporting the weight of my head as I fall asleep on your chest to the soothing sound of respiration

That emotion which takes one word to describe, yet can be described in thousands of words

All of which, I feel from you
