# What is it to Love?

A poem wrought out of pent up emotion and longing.

Loves now past flash through my mind  
 People now gone to my heart I bind  
 Friends and family, strangers and foes  
 To all of them a simple question I pose

There's so many words we use every day  
 Each one unique in its own special way  
 But certain words we hold for a specific few  
 Those words would be the words "I love you"

Now listen to me close, my dear  
 Yes, quiet now, lend me your ear  
 I say these words quite often to you  
 But they mean something more, it's true

What is it to love? This is my thought  
 What is this strange emotion we've wrought?  
 The bond between two people; two lovers  
 Is something that overpowers all others

So to you, my sweet, I'll tell you this  
 Don't worry, it's not something you'll miss  
 I love you more than anything else in this world  
 Even more of myself with you I've unfurled  
  
 I've never seen myself this clearly  
 Even when I'm sore and weary  
 Just a word from you and you'll see a smile  
 Even if I was gloomy for a while  
  
 You are my star, my shining light  
 Laying in your arms makes everything right  
 Each night spent with you is sheer bliss  
 And believe me, my love, there's no lie in this!
