Whatever it is
that makes two hearts
beat as one.
Whatever it is
that turns the greyest days
to sun.
Whatever it is
that makes you both feel
the way you do.
Whatever it is
that lets you know this love
is true.
Whatever it is,
hold it tight.
Whatever it is,
embrace the light.
Whatever it is,
you know it’s right.
Love is not a grand gesture,
but a million little things:
a cup in the morning,
a glass at night,
and eternity held in two little rings.
One moment changes all.
Two hearts in love will stay.
Three words spoken in just one look.
Forever after, begins today.
Plates shift
and the earth trembles.
Cracks split
and my cool crumbles.
Molten lava
bubbles just below.
Well, damn,
all you said was, “hello.”
The one you love
stands before you today
making promises for life
to love and to stay.
Look in his eyes
and know that it’s true,
that love never dies
and that’s what he feels for you.
The one you love
opens up your heart
and holds it gently
whether together or apart.
Look in her eyes,
and know that it’s true
of all the people on earth,
she chooses you.
To say I would do anything
is an understatement.
I would do everything
and all the unthinkable things
in between.
Loving you
is my only job
and the pay
is greater than
any dollar amount.
But the truth is,
I would work for free
as long as it meant
you’d be next to me.
Love
is strange.
Two strangers
soon become friends
become lovers,
become mates,
merge souls.
How strange?
Love
is eternal,
when done right
and nourished
and cared for
and able to bloom,
eternity soon seems
not long enough indeed.
Love
can be
a poem,
a song,
a feeling,
a look,
an action,
a vow,
a ring,
and just near
everything.
Love
can be
cruel,
painful,
brutal
honest,
mean,
heart-breaking,
breathless,
more difficult
than anything.
Love
is not easy
but when you know
it’s right,
there is never a time
when it’s not worth
the fight.
Twenty-five crunches
followed by one hundred squats;
a heart out of shape.
From the moment I saw you,
I knew that your heart
was made for mine.
From that moment,
I loved you
beyond all space and time.
From the moment I saw you,
I knew that my heart
was made for you.
From that moment,
I knew that loving you
was the best thing I’d ever do.
Love can be a tricky thing,
sneak up on you,
sight unseen.
Once it grabs you tight,
you grab it back,
with all your might.
And so the ride begins,
follow your heart,
and you’ll always win.
You still don’t know
how I love you from afar
and wish for so much more
than just the friends we are.
I’ll keep it that way
for as long as I can
since admitting my love
is more than I could stand.
Who cares if it means
that lonely is how I’ll be
as long the smile on your face
is all that I can see.
Even if you read this
it will be hard to know
since affection is one thing
I will never be able to show.
