Love

Is it the warmth of this hug,
The smile on my face?
Is it your breath in my ear,
Or that despondent gaze?


I don't know what love is
But I know what it can't be.
Love can't be all the lies you say.


Is it your arms all around me,
My shoulders bare?
Is it the way my nerves tremble
When you so much as stare?


I don't know what love is
But I know what it can't be.
Love can't be when you just don't care.


Is it the giddiness within,
With the world unaware?
Is it the way I look at you,
Or all the things that I share?


I don't know what love is
But I know what it can't be.
Love can't be this pain, this anger rare.


Is it the grasp of your hand,
So perfect, just right?
Is it how you fall asleep,
Holding me tight? 

I don't know what love is
But I know what it can't be.
Love can't be waking up to a fight. 




Is it my face in your hands,
Your face in my hair?
Is it the things you say to me
When nobody's there?


I don't know what love is
But I know what it can't be.
Love can't be you walking away
