is to love and be loved.

Love..is
missing him
the moment he walks away from you
Love..is
when you stare into his eyes
and you realise how much you love him
Love..is
hiding the truth
because you know it'd hurt him
Love..is
buying a present months before his birthday
just because you knew it was perfect
Love..is
feeling hurt and yet
shutting up because you don't wanna spoil his day
Love..is
expecting something
but smiling when you don't get it
just because you're just happy that he's here with you
Love..is
when an sms from him saying he misses you
feels like you've just received a bouquet of roses at your doorstep
Love..is
when you are willing to travel for a hour
just to see him for five minutes
Love..is
being willing to give up an hour of what you love
just for a second to lie in his arms and feel so safe
Love..is
when you wait up a few hours even though you're as sleepy as hell
while waiting for his call
Love..is
when he finally calls and speaks to you, you continue talking
even though your eyes are falling shut
because you wanna hear his voice
and it's all you've been waiting to hear
all week
Love..is
knowing you have to let go someday
but feeling your heart break at the simple thought of it.
And i can't believe i wrote that.
My crummy perception of love.
The big L-O-V-E.
I don't usually put lyrics into my blog entry, cos I think it's pretty cheesy.
But this song..
describes exactly what I'm feeling right now
every single word pierces my heart and then I see
how these words, these sentences, this song
how they ring true.
I've always thought of this song as a really happy, romantic to-be-played-on-your-wedding-day kinda song.
But listening to the lyrics,
really listening...
I realise how sad it really is
and how sincere
and I feel for the writer of this song.
I feel you.
Right down to every word.
(except the part about the wife, uhhh.)
"If You're Not The One"
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?
I'll never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I could stay in your arms...
