That’s what’s love

It’s not just a bond that ties our hearts

It’s that intersection of our lives

Which belongs to both of us

And that space in our minds

In which resides our concern for each other

Oh my beloved

Love isn’t just some feelings shared between us

It’s our precious time that we gift to each other

It’s those personal commitments that we leave for each other

It’s when our eyes speak to express our sentiments

While we sit tongue tied before each other 

I do agree that

Sometimes I need a space apart from you 

But it doesn’t mean

That I’m happy staying without you

There may occur sometimes

Trivial tiffs, creating an annoying gap between us

But just a sparkle in your eyes, when you see me

And a loving hug

Is all that is required 

To fill up all that cavity with love

A few moments mine, a few moments yours

Sometimes personal, sometimes in conjunction

When hand in hand we walk 

Resolving all our differences

And settling all our issues

Define our true love

It’s not just cuddling me or caressing my hair

Love is just a feel that come what may

For me, you’ll always be there

Just an assurance from you

That today and always

Whether we stay happily together

Or unfortunately a distance apart

There would never be created

A space between our hearts
