Love Is

Love’s the deepest breath that only leaves you wanting more
Love’s the harshest critic that ruins what you knew before
Love’s the greatest feeling that breaks you when you least expect
Love’s the biggest secret to creep up when you don’t suspect

Love’s the minor keys and chords in every song you hear
Love’s the tears of pain and joy when you are gone and you are near
Love’s the heartache of never knowing how I really feel
Love’s the heartache of never knowing how you really feel

Love’s the crushing tightness that wraps around your heart at night
Love’s the quiet tenderness that keeps you close and holds you tight
Love’s the big distraction that steals away your months and years
Love’s the guilt; the fears; the rain; the night; surprises; chaos; fears
