Love should sweep you off your feet.
It represents minutes, days, weeks, months, or decades
Sitting on the rocks near Lake Michigan to watch the sunrise after an argument
Laying with you when chicken soup just will not take the cold away
Listening to your writing because they can hear your words
Watching a game on television when you'd rather be watching Glee
Missing your family because they went on vacation while you worked
Laughing at something funny that makes you smile from the inside out
Nursing your new bundle of joy while sitting in a rocking chair
Watching children play in the park
Seeing the excitement in your child's face at their first fireworks show
Going to an old drive in movie to eat real buttered popcorn and good pizza
Sharing a conversation or a story with wine at a small cafe with friends
Sitting across from your sister or brother in silence and knowing
Finally love in the everyday and the extraordinary
Love is the nuances of a singer's soul, a writer's voice, and a painter's vision
It is the fear and calm that surrounds us everyday
It is messy, wet, clean, and imperfect
What is love to you?
