Love is...

by Svandyke

Love is...
so simple yet so complex
it's the best thing
that could ever happen to you
and yet it'll cause heartache
nights crying alone
and thoughts of giving up

love is...
getting butterflies in your stomach
feeling as if god paused time
you have your soul mate
and that's all that matters
seeing that sparkle in their eye
falling more in love with each kiss

love is...
sitting all alone in the dark
wandering if you are good enough
crying over the past,
the present, and the future
locking yourself away
slowly letting them slip out of your world

love is...
smiling whenever they walk in the room
having those special moments
that only you two hold
saying absolutely nothing
and yet saying everything
and they understand it all

love is...
loyalty and romance
letting one flower
say it all for you
giving them little notes
just to remind them you care
that you'll be there no matter what

love is...
trust and sanity
always wondering what they're doing
scared of people they're with
if what they're doing is right
the only thing still keeping you from falling to pieces
is the thought of seeing them again

love is...
a deep feeling that will keep you warm
when it's twenty below zero
a great emotion that when you are weak
it will pick you up off the ground
and they will be your strength
they will pull you through thick and thin

love is...
the most selfish of all passions
controlling what you can and cannot do
deciding every step for you
telling you what is wrong
and what is right
it's embraced with every breath you take

love is...
sitting at your window
staring into the endless sky
matching every single star
with a reason you love them
thinking of so many wonderful things
until that is, you run out of stars

love is...
stopping to smell the roses
taking in each breath
as if it were your last
enjoying and holding so dear
every hour, every minute, every second
you get to spend with them

love is...
every rose petal
every lonely tear
it's every heart beat
and every heartache
it's everything you could ever want
but at the same time it's everything you despise

love is...
so simple yet so complex
it's in every moment of everyday
it's the hardest thing to ever describe
but know this, love is...
endless and love is true, love is real, love is eternal
and love is...
something I will always hold for you...
