People have asked me-
What is love?
Love is a feeling,
but not just any feeling.

Love is something that feels
like the sun is smiling down on you.
It makes your stomach twist and turn.
your cheeks flush.
makes you feel joy.

It’s something
like trust.
like happiness.
that’s strong.
magical.
powerful.

It’s when you're head
over heels for someone.
always want to be with someone.
someone is always making you smile.
always thinking of someone.

It’s when you're always
talking about, or with, someone.
when you start to glow because of someone.
someone heals you.
you show affection towards someone.

someone is always there for you.
you're always with someone.
someone catches you off guard.
has your heart.
fixes your heartbreak.
watches you grow up.
remembers your birthday.
supports you.

It’s something romantic.
platonic.
It’s self love.
It’s family love.
It’s something called Love.
