Love Is

Love is air,
It's like breathing in
It's like filling up about to break, then giving in It's like light,
You can see it from far away
A match light in the dark,
Becoming light of day

Love is tough
It's like surgery
Twisting all the crocked parts of you
Into marvelous symmetry

It's like heat
You can feel it in the bitter night
A thing that stings your fingers
It's a forest fire

It's just love and it's everything
It's a battle you fight and song you sing
It's just love
And you know it's true
But you might not know it when it happens to you
