So what is this?
it\'s love, but how and when and why?
It was easy to count in the beginning.
the beam in your smile, the kindness in your eyes.
you were playful and mischievous.
you lit up with ease and gave me light too.
It used to be a river, mighty
but I could still number each stone
if I chose to spend the time
in lieu of lying in the refreshing beauty
as I let your waters rush over me.
It\'s the ocean now.
I couldn\'t find a stone if I tried, they lay too deep.
your current doesn\'t overwhelm me anymore
it has enveloped me. I am the current too.
When you ask why I love you
it isn\'t on the tip of my tongue
because it is tied to my soul.
It is no longer your smile or that look in your eye,
not just a touch from your hand or a stolen kiss
it is those things, but it\'s more and elevated.
Your laughter is mine too.
your vision is all I can see.
our hands know how they fit together
the kiss is passion, but also love, loyalty
and a bond unbreakable.
You are mine, I am yours
we are the ocean perfectly positioned
because of the effort made upstream
while we were still in the river.
