A Love Letter To Love

 

I noticed a fire blazing in your eyes,

As I took the time to learn the ABCs to your 123s,

Oh look at what love did this time.

Laugh or cry, cheer or rant,

I was willing to hear every expression from your heart,

Oh look at what love did this time.

You asked me to make up a story,

I created an epic tale blown out of proportion,

Oh look at what love did this time.

Oh no... another sleepless night,

As I laid in wonder if I did you any wrong,

Oh look at what love did this time.

I swam the seven seas with your deadly sins,

Just to find the pearl that makes you, you,

Oh is this what love feels like?

Random trips, impromptu adventures,

I was willing to take 25 bus rides to be where you are,

Oh look at what love did this time.

After the show and our long goodbyes,

There I go letting you have the last laugh again,

Oh look at what love did this time.

With all the halcyon days we've created,

Loneliness became a thing of the decadent past,

Oh look at what love did this time.

Oops... There goes my thoughts,

Wondering how you'd feel when I'm no longer around,

Oh look at what love did this time.

Even when the silence is deafening,

There is beauty in the language that need no words,

Oh is this what love feels like?
