Definition of Love

I was asked to describe the feeling of love,
and had every intention to do so.
But as I began to analyze it,
the only things that came to mind
were how wonderful it feels 
to have your body close to mine,
how the warmth of your breath on my skin 
matches the warmth in my heart,
and the comfort of the rise and fall 
of your chest beneath my dreams.
And if that is love,
only I have the pleasure of knowing it.
