love

what makes you mad
may not make me mad
what makes you sad
may not make me sad
what you find funny
i may find stupid
it's different for everyone
but of course
you already knew that
so why is it so hard
for you to understand
what you may think love is
i may think it's something else
yes i write poetry
but i have never claimed to know
what love is
only what love is to myself
i cannot define what love may be
under all circumstances
in all instances and cases
to all people and living things
because it's different for everyone
so when you ask me why
or how i can love someone like you
dont expect me to answer
because i really don't know
what love is
i just know that i do

but still you ask what's love to me
so i'll answer you
it's waking up in the moring with you next to me
it's how i want to capture every moment with you on film or in pictures
it's in the color of the roses i give you
it's the cards i leave in your car just to let you know i was thinking of you
it's realizing in the middle of an argument that
i hate what we're doing
but honestly i wouldnt want to be arguing with anyone else
in the world but you

that's what love is to me, but it's also so much more.

i love you
i may not know what it means to you
but i know what you mean to me
