Love Is

Love is making coffee together in the morning.

It is whispered words and sighs and light back scratches in bed.

It is watching the way your eyes light up when you talk about something that excites you.

And the way your pupils dilate when you look at me.

As if I am the only person in the world.

Love is kissing the stubble on your jaw to wake you up

and interlacing my fingers through your hair.

It is holding hands while driving

and feeling like I have all the support I need to accomplish anything.

Love is nights filled with passion

exploring each other and the ways we best fit together

like a lock and key.

Love is massaging your back in the shower

and watching you smile in bliss.

Love is feeling chosen, and seen, and cared for

every minute of every hour of every day.

It is laughing together at nothing and everything

while we dance barefoot in the kitchen.

Love is light and carefree

and even in the hardest moments it is easy.

We could speak a hundred languages

yet there are no words that exist that can capture this love between us.
