Love Is

Love sounds like piano music and Frank Sinatra.

Love smells like a fresh bouquet of roses.

Love feels like butterflies in your stomach as you stumble over words.

Love is breakfast in bed and candle lit dinners.

Love is kissing in the rain.

Love is “forbidden romance”.

Love is the greatest sex you’ve ever had.

Love is. . .


Wait.


But, that’s not what it sounds like?


Not what it feels like?


Not what love is.


Love sounds like waves crashing on a beach and busy cities at night.

Love smells like a fresh brewed cup of coffee.

Love feels like running your fingers through someone’s hair.

        And early morning showers.

Love is conversations lasting for hours as you try to soak up every word they say.

        And finishing someone’s sentences because you know exactly what they are going to say.

Love is feeling like the world around you has stopped.

Love is holding each other because you are afraid to let go.

Love is closing your eyes and being able to hear their laugh.

Love is being content in silence.

Love is feeling at peace.

Love is selfless.

Love is a person.

Love is.
