His hands were the one I thought ruled the world. His eyes were the ones I thought saw it all. His heart was the heart that won every war And passion was his only -weapon - used.
His voice was the one I heard at night. His warmth was the warmth that spread through my body and Showed me What love really felt like.
What love really felt like? I asked all the time. And his eyes were the ones that Answered. And his hands were the ones that Made it really For me.
That’s what it seemed to be
You see, For me, He was all I’d need.
For me, he was the only thing my eyes would See.
For me, his hands were enough And his warmth was my coat And his arms were my home And his love was the boat That carried Me, to shore.
And for me… It was only for me.
Because for him, I wasn’t enough. And his warmth was just warmth, It was never true love. But then again, How can I say what true love is, Because maybe it was to him.
Because maybe love is the Heart of more than one Woman. Maybe love is the Passion of more than one Lover. Maybe love was never what I had Thought And love Was only wrong To me.
But to me, That’s not love.
And to me, That’s not caring.
And to me, That is, Nothing more than an – Insecure man to afraid to, Curl his body around mine to, Pose the question As he turns his body Into that doubtful Question mark That leaves him open to pain.
To me, That Is love.
Curling yourself around the heart you want, Around the one that You choose To have you In your most Vulnerable state And to see you, as you Ask the hardest question Because, What Is love?
