What Is Love

Love is more than just a feeling
That lives inside our hearts
It's tempered for perfection
From the very moment it starts

It's something that we taste
As our lips meet to explore
A journey of enlightenment
That leaves us wanting more

It's something that we hear
As the words caress our soul
The sounds of satisfaction
As we listen to it grow

It's something that we see
When we just can't look away
And when it's time to go
It beckons you to stay

Love is what you make it
What you want it to be
So, hold on to the love you have
For all eternity
