Poem Title:
Poem
I ask myself...what is love? But the answer...the answer never comes Tonight, sitting alone with nothing but my thoughts to keep me warm I wonder what love is I wonder if his heart aches for me I ask myself...what is love? Am i the only soul that is unsure? There were lovers Ones i could've loved, thought i'd loved A brief comfort, a warm embrace And a chilly, forgetful goodbye in the end Lovers they're called...why? Lovers they are not, for my heart did not cry when they left I ask myself...what is love? Songs try to describe it As if the music can make you feel it Poems..they try to make you understand As if words on a page can come to life Only he can make me feel it Only my heart can make me understand I ask myself...what is love? I think it visits us in our dreams That's where it takes hold That's where we realize something is missing Where the heart aches for the first time Waiting...always waiting for the one who will make it go away So still...i wonder what love is If his heart aches for me I ask myself...what is love? Tonight, tonight i am ready for an answer So i close my eyes, and relinquish my dreams to him The one place i can go and know he'll be there Know that he'll find a way to make me see I ask myself...what is love? It's getting butterflies when you know he's on his way Trying to speak through the lump in your throat when he's leaving Dreaming of him, Then wishing it was real when you wake up It's the goosebumps that appear Before his fingertips even touch your skin And the sigh that escapes when they finally do Seeing his picture, and praying if you stare at it long enough He might actually appear Its the warmth that takes you over when he looks into your eyes And the fire that burns when you realize what he's thinking Hearing his heartbeat And smiling when you feel it's the same as yours Its how your knees forget how to hold you up when he kisses you And how you melt into him when he pulls your closer Feeling happier than you have ever thought possible It's finding yourself denying sleep when he's holding you in bed Just so you can feel him breathe And watch him dream not regretting one moment you spent with him It's missing him before he's gone And pulling him in for one last kiss..ten times Counting down the minutes, hours, days or months until you see him again It's knowing you'll survive if he should ever leave for good But hating that you'll never really live again Stuck..always stuck re-living those precious moments Forever I ask myself...what is love? And i answer... He is love He is my love
