Love Is...

Love is…

The stroke of a soft cheek.
A blush.
The sound of another’s heart beat.
A gasp.
The feeling of their hair in your hands.
A smile.
The brush of fingers against their back.
A shiver.
The telling of secrets and stories.
A laugh.
The apology of a hidden lie.
A cry.
The pair of lips pressed against a scar.
A tear.
The sight of watching them sleep.
A sigh.
The softness of their voice.
A song.
The warmth of being held close
A dance.
The sharing of an ice cream cone.
A taste.
The quilt around two cold bodies.
A touch.
The caring of their aching cough.
A fever.
The confession of one’s feelings.
A hug.
The shakiness as they kneel.
A blink.
The box with the ring inside.
A kiss.
