What do you think love is?
Heard love is a feeling
Heard love is hard work
Maybe love is staring at the full moon
Wondering whether they're
Looking at it too?

[But that's cliche]

Maybe it's green tea and
Sitting on the sectional
Something between a sunny day
And a pocket full of rocks you
Found in the creek behind the house
I think I still have a few

What do you think love is?
Heard love is like a rose
Velvet and smooth, but
It comes wrapped in thorns
The smell is sweet but your
Fingers get pricked, sometimes

[But that's cliche]

Maybe it's party hats and
Dumb stickers after the doctor
Fake flowers and a three-dee puzzle
Of a bluebird, even if it feels like
Flying is the last thing on
Your mind right now

What do you think love is?
Heard love is light
Heard love is blind
Rose-colored glasses and
A sundress on a rainy day
Storms end with a rainbow, sometimes

[But that's cliche]

Maybe it's lobster and biscuits
And a trip to the store for a box fan
Poolside chats with mom and
A promise
Long drives home and dreams over email
Still waiting to be read

What do you think love is?
Heard love is patient
Heard love is kind
It always protects, always trusts
Always hopes and... perseveres
Love never fails

[But that's cliche]

Maybe it's roller skates and a book
Miniature tools for the garden and a
Bottle for fish with a hose
A mattress cover and thermometers for
The dragon. Doesn't breathe fire but
She's sweet even if a little prickly

What do you think love is?
Heard love isn't something you find
Heard it's something that finds you
Dark secrets and a cure. Magic and
A mirror. When you look into
Someone's eyes and see everything you need

[But that's cliche]

Maybe it's laundry baskets
And velcro. Diet soda and back scratches
Chocolate eggs with a toy and
A pint-sized mailbox
Sticky tack and a gun for
Watercolors

What do you think love is?
Heard love is the answer
Heard love is a dream
Like perfume you can't pour onto
Others without getting a few drops
On yourself

[But that's cliche]

Maybe it's 4:00 am and a
Text message.
Oatmeal and coffee with turkey
Sandwiches and a kiss
Oversized sports bras and a
Run in the park

Maybe it's shishkabobs and
Mason jars with bloody Marys
With pickled okra and a straw
Keychains and plastic baskets
Mowing the grass and hunting for
Snakes in the garage

Maybe it doesn't matter
What love is
But if love is what I
Think it is then I know that
I love you
