Love is

Love is cotton-candy sugary-sweet first-kiss
wonderful
It is the smell of first rain after
a hot arid spell
Love is the burning salt tears that
run your mascara
and leave you feeling foolish
Love gets under your skin,
but more than that...it's in your veins
It the drug we all want to be strung out on
Love makes you a begger or a rich man
a wiser man or the fool
Love can make you lie
or be the ultimate truth serum
Love makes you want to be a stronger woman, a better man
It has the power to build castles and kingdoms
and can make the stongest heart crumble
Love exists in birth and in passing
In living and in breath itself
It gives us hope and purpose
happiness. pain.
Love is you and
love is me
