What is Love?
Love is when you're sitting in a forest, and a beam of sunlight breaks through the canopy and warms your skin.
Love is the heat of a campfire in a land full of snow.
Love is the smile of the person you've waited to see all day,
It's the twinkle in the eye of your best friend,
It's laughing until you can't breathe,
and not wanting to be anywhere else then where you are right now.
Love is the dark red of a kiss mark,
the deep orange of a flame.
Love is whispered and shouted,
sobbed and proclaimed.
It is amour and meile,
caru and Liebe.
Love is the ability to say everything you're thinking in just one word,
It is looking into a persons eyes and knowing that everything's going to be ok.
You ask me "what is love?",
but the funny thing is, you probably already know.
