what is love

what is that?

Is it your smile?

Your laugh?

Is it how you care for others?

What is love?

Is it a good joke?

Or a really good book?

Is it a hug when you need it most?

What is love?

For you?

Is it when only one person makes your day right?

Or when the barista gets your coffee

Exactly how you like it?

Is it a child’s laugh?

Or a lover’s kiss?

Is it your favorite show?

What is love?

Is it pictures?

Of you?

Do you love yourself?

All the scars and bruises, healed or not?

The mistake you made 10 years ago,

Can you love yourself in spite of it?

Will you?

What is love?

Is it finally getting to your bed after a long day?

Is it laughing with your friends?

Singing with your siblings?

Is it a good ass meal?

Or your favorite song?

What is love?

Do you seek it?

Is it attainable?

Do you dance in it?

Is it silence?

Or so loud your whole body shakes?

Does the world go silent when you’re with them?

What is love?
