Valentine’s Poems

 

           Love is...

 

 

            ...Something we can’t explain

 

            ...something without equivalent

 

            ...Something we can’t define

 

 

            It's falling asleep thinking about her

 

            It's dreaming about her

 

            It's waking up thinking about her

 

            It’s spending the day thinking about her

 

 

            When we are close to this person...

 

            Our heart accelerates

 

            It's a strange sensation

 

            It's like getting no reaction

 

 

            If she says no...

 

            It's death

 

            It's falling down an endless cliff

 

            It's as if our heart will stop forever

 

 

            If she says yes...

 

            It's the wish of crying it out loud to the world

 

            It's to be the happiest guy in the world

 

            It's hoping that moment won’t come to an end.
