How do i tell you

What is love?

Is there any specific definition of love?

Innocent,

but the question is relevant.

So, let’s try to figure out what love is.

 

Is it your shadow on my personality?

Or your fragrance in my mind?

Maybe it’s your first kiss,

or the last one.

Or the cruel separation that’s been done.

 

Maybe it's your warm breath on my lips,

or a journey through a beautiful dream trips.

Is it your aroma in my breath?

Or the sweet nectar of your tongue,

between my lips?

 

Is it your thoughts in my brain?

Or wet memories in the drizzling rain?

Maybe it's the glimpse of your face in my eye,

or an ocean of tears and a thousand cries.

 

Is it the color of the wine, or something divine?

Or something only God can define?

 

Maybe it’s just a few odd words,

or a dolorous poem, written in my blood.

 

Is it the mark of your lipstick on my collar?

Or the shadow of a bikini,

resting on the bed’s corner?

Maybe it’s two bodies clinging together,

beneath a warm blanket on a winter night,

or the sweet, naughty morning kisses fight ?

 

Maybe it's the moment your heart says,

"Let’s talk to him,"

and your mind whispers,

"Stop; just stop thinking about him."

Maybe it's your feeling that he is my everything all,

or the feeling of denying it—

no, not at all.

 

Maybe it’s simple,

but a touch that runs deep in the heart,

or a beautifully crafted emotion’s art.

Maybe it’s the sweet intoxication, deep inside the soul,

or the exsanguinating, wounds that bleed the soul

 

50 shades of gray, or a single color of life,

a piece of trust, or a sharp betrayal’s knife.

 

Maybe it’s death we experience while alive,

or the power that helps us survive.

 

Is this the mystery of love? What is love?

But I’ve heard it said, love is a many-splendored thing,

and yet, it comes down to just one thing:

I’m concluding it.

Love is the beautiful dimple on your cheek. That’s it.

Love is the beautiful dimple on your cheek. That’s it.
