You told me you loved me today.
What is love?
It cannot be the butterflies in your stomach when you talk to me.
It cannot be the quick beating of your heart when we touch.
It cannot be the urge you have to kiss me.
Love is like an illness.
All those are symptoms.
Love is catchy.
Similar to a forest fire,
Our love is like an ocean.
Covering most of the world,
With such depth and magnitude it cannot be accurately measured by humanity.
With such power, it pulls me in,
With such gentleness it caresses me.
Ignoring who I was and embracing only who I am,
Nothing makes sense but all is understood.
I close my eyes, and let you carry me away into the horizon.
Whatever love is, I think I’ve caught it.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

somewhat of a cliche, but i still liked it :) I think the imagery could been taken a little farther, but other than that this was really pretty!
