What Is Love

Intimacy is all I want, it's all I desire
But for now we'll let our words, be the fuel to our fire
I'm hardwired, to never give in and never give up,
but I've given into your heart, now your heart is all that I want

And lift you up, when you're down, I wanna turn you around
Lead you on the path into my life, yeah my heart is where you're bound
Cause without a sound, you could be gone and I could lose you,
So I sit around, and I savor the spark before it defuses

The feelings are true, I developed them only for you,
Intimate emotions combining with my devotion to see it through,
To tell the truth, there's billions of girls in the world,
But the only girl that I want, my feelings will forever be unfurled

And when I hear her voice, I melt, my skeleton fries,
cause we're a thousand miles away, but it's different in my eyes,
We're together, we could hear each others voices and live on forever,
The most beautiful girl in the world, so I gotta stay clever

Sad to see no other comments here. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of yours. Very lyrical and I feel like you bring to life all those metaphors of burning. I wonder, however, if that one line could be re-worded slightly... maybe instead "there's a billion girls in the world"?... just a suggestion though. Keep on writing :)
