What is love

Remember the day when we broke up, you asked me if I loved
You at every corner of the time that we spend with each other
You asked me why did I give up if I’ve loved you so much
And I just ask you back in line, “what is love about?”
“Even kids know about loving too, how could you not know?”
I wasn’t being sarcastic, I really wanted to know.

It took me 90 days of solitude.
90 days of a numbed up heart.
90 days of missing you,
To realize what it’s about.

Love is not just spending time.
Love is not just fun and rhymes.
Love is not just you and I.
Love is not just our alibi.
Love is wanting to see you now,
And every day of my life.
Love is knowing it’s uncertain,
Yet you’re the one for life.
Love is waking up every day,
Hoping you’re next to me.
Love is waking up every day,
Hoping you’re the first one I see.
Love is thinking of you all the time,
No matter what I do.
Love is sharing all the times,
Even when it’s little or it’s new.
Love is crying when you say goodbyes.
Never wanting to let go.
Love is caring with no bounds in sight,
Cause I’ll bring the sea for you.
Love is more than you and I,
Cause love is us.
And it’s profound.
