What is this word

by Dancing Rivers   Oct 27, 2015


What is this word 'love'
that we all throw around like candy?

I'll tell you exactly what it is:

staring into each other's eyes
and having silent conversation,
it was in that moment
that I realised what love-real love- really is
, it's not a feeling, not a state of mind, it's a state of being,
a state of pure abysmal bliss that rips you apart
and so gently builds you up again so sweetly,
it's looking into his eyes and seeing the universe and yourself,
and feeling him right there regardless of the distance.
it is living in all it's beauty and grace.

That!
That is what love-
real, deep, meaningful, glorious love is-
that is all.

    Hmm, typically I can go into detail about a poem I love but this one I can't. I feel like this was so vulnerable of you to to express and it came out just beautiful. Your definition of love is brilliant and something to be adored.

    Pretty write.
