Love  Is    

.

Love is missing someone

            when they leave the room

                        just for a minute

 

Love is living in an electric 3-D high-resolution wide-screen technicolor heaven

            after living in a world of out-of-focus rabbit-ears

                        in blurry black & white

 

Love is hugging the other person’s pillow in the morning after they get up,

            feeling their warmth against the sheets

                        and pretending you’re them

 

Love is writing each other

            love note horoscopes

                        every morning for life

 

Love is going through everything

            with the other person beside you

                        whether they’re there or not

 

Love is being so excited every time you get ready to leave the house together

            it’s like you’re packing on a plane trip to Paradise,

                        only you’re just walking around the block together

 

Love is being on a roller coaster ride

            pushing a shopping cart

                        in a grocery store together

 

Love is getting under the covers first in the winter

            and lying on the other’s side to warm it up

                        before they crawl in

 

Love is taking a lot longer

            to find your clothes again

                        than it took to get them off

 

Love is being in bed together

            and there being only one person

                        there

 

Love is speaking in sound language

            only two people

                        know

 

Love is laying pillow-to-pillow

            unable to sleep

                        because you can’t stop looking

 

Love is watching someone’s eyes close

            and holding their hand

                        until you feel them dreaming

 

Love is waking up in the middle of the night

            looking over at the person asleep beside you

                        knowing the world is safe, and going back to sleep sweetly

 

Love is the other person feeling the same way.
