And love is.

The heart grows fond,

The mind absconds,

Pounding, pounding,

A new adoration.

 

Needing, yearning.

The heart desires.

The love inspires.

And love is...

 

Within the beating

A second passes

The eyes glance,

A smile flashes.

 

And love is...

 

With every second,

The mind reflects.

Expecting the heart

To return to its 

standing state.

 

And love is...

 

We love because

We need to be loved.

But we do not know

The heart of the other.

The mystery of emotion,

Wrapped in a motion

An entire life collected

Enough data collated.

 

And love is...

 

To know one well

Is to love one well.

To be the one loved

Is the delight

Of the soul.

Hurry, hurry.

To be there.

Where you are.

Nearness, dearness.

Never too far.

 

Always in the heart.

Always near at heart.
