Love is...

(This is dedicated to my girlfriend, Elesha. We've been together 18 months now and I just can't imagine my life without her, she is my very inspiration for life, and especially for a lot of my poems. I love her with all my heart, anyway I hope you like it baby)

What is love?
well it's each waking moment
for me, as i'm always
thinking about you,
it's the way my heart
skips a beat
as soon as your
feet cross the threshold
to my home,
it's staying up till
2a.m. on the phone,
and it's all the silences
in that conversation,
not awkward at all,
in fact somewhat magical
the way we can say nothing
but feel so much,
it's your eyes
and how through them
I can see into your heart
and know that we'll always
be together,
love is the past 18 months,
every second of them.
Yes okay I didn't tell you
I loved you right away,
and I didn't even
realise what I was feeling
was love, but knowing
how love feels and looking back
I can say I loved you from the start.
Love is a special bond
between two people
who might not be perfect
for anyone else
but are perfect for each other,
it's a feeling
that is in our blood,
in our very soul,
and it takes
one, special person,
to bring it out of us.

Love is you and me.
