Love Is

Is love having a friend that loves you for who you are?
Does love happen when you miss that person at even the thought that they might leave your side?
Do you truly love someone when you look into their eyes and see your universe?
Do you wish to look into those eyes that shine the most beautiful hue and be lost in them for ever?
All of these and more are what it feels like to love some one with all you are and can be.

Hold onto them.

Like a few drops of rain on a hot summer day.
Like the stars in the sky on a moonless night.
Like the warmth of your favorite blanket on a cold winter night.
Like a good book that you can completely lose yourself in without a care.

Remember when.

You look in the mirror and see them beside you and even though they are not there you can feel the warmth of their hand in yours.
When a simple dream of their face smiling next to yours when you wake warms your heart.
When the friend you cherish most smiles at you and you know that they are your world.

Cherish.

The soft touch of their skin.
The soft color of their eyes.
The gentle kiss they give you just because they can.
The knowledge that they will be there when you open your eyes again in the morning.

Never forget.

What they showed you.
The places they took you.
How they changed you.
And above all never forget what they have given you in the telling of those three words.

“I love you”
