Is This Love?

4 a.m.

I wake up slow

Your warmth is here,

Right next to me

Is this love?

Is this love?

Morning light, walking the park

Even alone, I feel you close

Footsteps fading, soft and slow

…is this love?

Is this love?

Cold rain night, empty my side

Missing your heat, warm with memories

Shadows breathing next to me

…is this love?

Every moment,

You and me

Every step,

Feels so real, I know it right now

7 a.m.

Coffee in air

Laughing in kitchens,

You’re standing there

Is this love?

Is this love?

Your message says, “Not today”

The sky turns dull, in shades of gray

Time moves on, but I stay

…is this love?

Is this love?

Evening streets, I lift my eyes

There you stand, with flowers bright

All the noise just slips aside

…is this love?

7 p.m.

Dinner lights

Everything feels

Warm tonight

Is this love?

Separate lives,

Different lines

Slowly they cross,

Now side by side

Hold and break,

Heal and fight

Every word, wrapped

In love tonight

Past midnight,

Our bodies close

Melting away,

We lock our souls

Is this love?

Every day,

The days ahead

Hand in hand,

No fear, no end

Is this love?
