What is Love?
Love is cozy
Deep stares and naked bodies
As our bare skin touch
The warmth translates from your skin to mine
I find home right here, right now
Our souls do not fail to coexist
We could stay like this forever
Love is communication
“You have to talk to me”
“I don’t know what you’re thinking”
“Please say something”
The burning sensation at the back of my throat
Strips away my ability to speak
Tears are the only form communication I have
Racing thoughts, aching heart
You asks me to stay
So I do
And we talk through weak voices and long pauses
Then I leave
But leaving just doesn’t feel right without an “I love you”
To which you respond
“I love you too”
Love is timeless
The honeymoon stage is not infinite
Flaws and all, the feelings that possess my body remain unwavering
I find resilience in you and I
Even when the euphoria settles,
I can truly say
You are my forever
Hours, minutes, seconds cease to exist
as I lay beside you
Love is loyalty
Temptation is the poison we stray away from
Because I love you,
And you love me
Trust is the layer of love that bonds us together
The foundation of a successful relationship
Trust is fragile
Easy to break, difficult to repair
Love is naked
Because of you,
I no longer fear vulnerability
My transparency is exclusive to you
I tore down my walls,
Opened myself up to the possibility of unbearable pain
All because I love you
Love is beyond explanation
And that is all I have to say
