What Love Is

What Is Love

What Is Love?
It's the everyday hours
that soothe the heart,
that make reality of the dream.
It's the constancy of your spirit
giving me the strength to face
what life puts before us.

It's the light that shines
from your eyes;
The light that washes over me;
Bathes me in the deepest joy
I have ever known.

It's the tender touch
and your wanton need
that melts my life, my heart,
soul and body into yours.

It's the tears that spill from our eyes,
the knowing smiles we share
at the recognition of our open hearts.
It's the faith you have in me;
as a human being, a woman, as your lover,
your friend, wife of your soul.

It's being able to express myself
and who I am, completely,
without fear.
And the knowing that I was born
to love you from across the miles.

It's your fingertips that stroke away
my stress, my sadness, my pain;
Leading me to the edge of desire;
Holding me on the slide into ecstasy.
It is your eyes, your smile,
your deepest love and peace
I see when the wave has crested and
I am gently washed back to shore.

It is you, who gathered
the bits and pieces
of my broken heart,
holding them safe
inside your own until they healed.

I love you Baby,
with all I am and will ever be,
with no part of my heart
held back from you.

It's knowing that forever
you will remain a part of me,
thru this life and after death.
You are my own
And only true love;
The other half of my lost heart.

Apart we are so much
less than ourselves.
Together we are One.

This is what love is.
