What Is Love?

Is love a sweet whisper of comfort in the midst of the night?
Is love a phone call that makes a gray day seem like a ray of sunlight?
Is love a look in the eys that quakes your soul like an outer body experience?
Is love simply found in the words I love you?
Is love a symptomatic confusion of emotions that drains thoughts into adjectives 
like: romance, joy, laughter, happiness, pleasure, bliss , humiliation and some 
type of twisted pain?

is love a dozen roses every other day?
Is love the reason i'm feeling this way
is love the only thing that makes anything wrong go right
is love a systematic competition that revolves around a 360 degree sphere of 
remarkable kisses, midnight phone calls, angelic touches, spine tingling sparks 
that saturate the soul like a layer of frost that comes with winter.
