“What Love Is”
By: Lauren Starr 6/11/07

You love him;
That’s all you know,
Or can even understand,
For when you look into his eyes,
His smile warms your heart,
And his words soothe your soul.
This is love.

Whenever he’s around,
Your heart is flooded with love,
Like blood leaking from a flesh wound;
Or tears falling from the eyes of a broken heart,
As you speak, you try in vain,
To illustrate the feelings of a heart-guarded dream,
Trying to let out the words of an unspoken love.

So you try to get the feelings out,
For some, it’s writing, others, art or music,
These seem easier to communicate with,
Easier than speaking; for you can make up the ending,
There’s no fear of the love and dreaming coming to naught,
The fantasy, the dream, the warmth of the love stays alive,
It’s the only security we know.

Loving him, you try to explain how this love is different;
It’s like trying on new shoes blindfolded,
Then you realize the shoe that fits and wears the best,
Wouldn't have been the one you chose first;
But it works the best anyway, it feels right,
Though they all looked right at first, it took fate to bring the best to you
And now you never want to let that comfort go.
That’s him, that’s love;
You can’t explain it, it just feels right.

Now, the question is,

Is it possible to love someone so much that they just flood every feeling receptor, all that you are, and ever will be, with joy?

That they provide you with happiness you've never felt once in your life,
Just thinking of their name or their face makes your heart race with joy,
Hearing their voice is like hearing the sweetest sound of all,
Talking to them is like talking to your idol,
Being able to sit next to them is like sitting beside an angel,
And you love them like you've known them forever and want to keep it that way,
No matter what may stand before you.

That is him;
The one you love;
This…is true happiness.
