Love Is….

Love is your eyes that squint when you smile,

And the ruffle of your hair, not brushed in a while,

It’s the smell of your scent that seeps in my pillow,

And the warmth on my sheets still left by your shadow,

*

Love is the kindness that shows in your face,

And the look of belonging, we’re in the right place,

It’s the laughter we share and the tears that you heal,

And whenever I fall it’s your arms that I feel,

*

Love is your kiss that I taste on my lips,

And the thirst that you quench with steadying sips,

It’s the need that you feed without being asked,

And the want that you quell without any mask,

*

Love is not loving you for all that you do,

Love is just loving you because you are you.
