Is It Love

Wiping away my tears
 a smile gleams on your cheeks
and your touch unmeasured speaks
 beating loud within my breast.

From a distance, I stepped away
 unsure of what this is coming my way;
your stature, strong and self-assured
 draws me in this amorous allure.

Never before have I felt this way
 and my mind fails my heart in what to say;
all the questions and misgivings rise in doubt
 draw me in enraptured by your tout.

Come closer, wrap your arms around me
 hold me snug, safe secure upon your shoulders
whisper soft and gentle as you keep me near
 dispel the fears as we dance here.

In this wondrous waltz that melodies romance
 tell me the truths of life and all its circumstance
is this real, is it the reality of me and you
 is it love or just a dream, tell me true?
