Love Is...

Love is...
late night conversations
feeling lightheaded at the mention of his name
passionate kisses
warm embraces thoughtful massage
long beautiful songs
staring in his eyes
caressing his smooth chest
pressing into his body
giving up all free will and self control
a single red rose
a sappy movie
cuddling near a welcoming fireplace
holding hands and never wanting to let go
a single movie date
two straws in one milkshake
understanding them no matter how misunderstood they are
running your fingers through their hair
listening to their soft whisper
their gentle touch
all thoughts erased except him
daydreaming in class
an eternal smile
that soft sweatshirt they'll never get back
footsie under the table

The feeling that you have met your equal and never been happier.
