                                                 What is love?

                                       How can one define love?
                                Is it love when you kiss someone?
                                    Is it love when you hug them?
                          Is it love when you simply say, “I love you.”?
                   Is it love when you cry simply because they aren’t there?
                                                  It might be…

                                       What does love feel like?
                 Does it feel like a gaping void in your heart has been filled?
              Does it feel like you have the power to accomplish anything just
                                     because you’re with them?
              Does it feel like a thousand butterflies are going to lift you
                         right off your feet whenever they are around?
                Do you feel an overpowering guilt whenever you get
                           into the smallest of arguments with them?
                                                     It might…

                               What are you willing to do for love?
                 Would you stop a bullet with your body to protect them?
           Would you confess your deepest sins and listen intently to theirs?
   Would you go for days on end without food or water just so they could survive?
                   Would you comfort and care for them during the good
                                    times as well as well as the bad?
                                                      I would…

                                                   Would you…?
I wrote this poem for my girlfriend... I honestly looked inside myself and asked, "What is love?"; thus this poem was born.

I tried to get the spacing to look as good as it did in Microsoft Word... Oh well I tried... =/

I hope you all enjoy it.

(No I'm not refuring to the song "What is love" so please don't say I am.)
