What is it to love? By: Keishianna McCarthy

What is it to love someone?
Is it that tickle in the pit of your stomach?
Is it the shiver down your spine, when they say things that you have only dreamt of before.
That moment you go weak in the knees as he slides his hand into the small of your back to support you physically and emotionally.
The way he moves the hair out of your face or wipes your tears?
What is it to love?
Is it to laugh and laugh until your stomach hurts and tears gather.
Is it to smile so much that the muscles in your face are exhausted?
Is it to connect mind, body, spirit, soul?
What is it to be in love?
Is it the constant thoughts of you ?
Is it the memories that flood my mind
or bring a smile to my face?
Is it a longing for your voice bellowing in my ear?
The joy that comes as i watch you bent over in continuous laughter?
The way you look at me, and see just me.
Afraid yet courageous
Vibrant yet closed off
wanting so badly to trust
that this won't hurt
that this will last
that you FEEL what i do.
What is it to love?
because if its all that i have mentioned
it didn't take me very long
to have something quite strong
and i have known all along
that i would fall
tumbling down to the ground
in LOVE with you.
Now, what on earth am i going to do
if you don't have the answers to
What it means to Love.
