What does love mean?
Is it the guy 8 hours away,
or the girl right next door?
Is it a feeling or
is it not real?

Is love in your heart
or just in your head?
Or coming home to dinner
with your husband
and your kids?

Is love the flower so pretty
you don't dare to pick?
Or the sun falling back
colors scattering
and leaving us blank?

Love is nothing and everything
all at once.
Love is not numbers
or letters
or trust.
Love is only living
when all you used to know
was how to survive.
