She picks her head off his lap slightly
Just enough to make eye contact with him
Asking him
What is love
He inhales quickly as if the words he wanted to say were out in the open just waiting to be captured
Then exhales stating to her
Love for me is finding someone that makes you the best
No
Better than you ever thought you could be or thought you could feel
Love is stronger than attraction
It’s the knowing that this is someone you could wake up with whether they went all out for you the night previous or if they came in all their natural beauty
Love is being there
Be it through the tears on a shoulder or the sting of fiery hate slung words
Love is never having to do something to be happy
It can be as simple as watching tv
All that really matter is that you’re together
Love is quiet nights and mornings
Rain snow or wind nothing drags you from each other
Love is smiling
Because the touch of the other is the only thing you want
Love is what I feel when I look in your eyes
