What   is   Love?

Just what is love anyway?
Is it the smile that comes with a rush
At the mention of your name?
Perhaps it is the warm feeling I have inside
When I hear your voice.

You can't see love.
Well, perhaps you can, 
If you look into the eyes
Of someone in love.
Then you could see it.

You can't touch love. 
Well maybe you can.
To wipe a tear from the eye
Of someone in love 
That has said goodbye 
To their love;
Or to wipe the tears of the bride
And the groom as they say their vows.
That would surely be
To touch love.

So just what is love?
You can't smell love.
Or can you?
The fragrance of a rose given to a lover;
Would that be to smell love?
Perhaps the scent of their bodies
Mixing as one while lovers sleep
In each others arms;
That would surely be to smell love.

You can't hear love.
Oh yes, I think you can.
The laughter of lovers 
Running in the rain,
Or the cry of the newborn child
Conceived of love;
Certainly that would be to hear love.

I don't think you can taste love.
Can you? 
Perhaps you can.
When lovers kiss,
And the taste of two become one;
Or the soft kiss
Placed on the hand of a lady
By her lover for the first time;
That would be to taste love

Love is something that touches all five senses,
One at a time, 
Yet all at one time;
And creating a sixth sense.
And we call it love.

It is the taking of all five senses
And making them one final sense
Called love.

To have experienced this sixth sense
Would have been to stimulate 
The entire body, mind, and soul
All at one time,
Leaving you exhausted physically, 
And mentally drained
Of all energy.

To have loved and lost
Would be the sensation 
Of the deepest pain
Known to mankind.

So, what is love anyway?
It is that sixth sense;
The feeling I have with you;
The way you can make me
Feel, taste, hear, see, and smell
Everything around me in a new way,
The way of love.

The way two can share each breath they take
Without feeling cheated;
The way you can show me the world
From your point of view,
And I enjoy the fresh new insight of it all.

The way you can make me
Want to try to like what you like
Just because I want to;
And the way you can make 
My heart fill with pride
Just because you held my hand
And made me blush,
Because you introduced me
To someone as your Lady.

So this is all Love.
And it is all wonderful.
And now I feel I can answer the question:
What Is Love Anyway??
In just one simple word;
And that word is "YOU."
That is what love is anyway...

I love "YOU!"
