it's what i have wanted

with my own eyes to see you

each morning knowing to sleep with you

softest to dream together to pour myself in you

create new lives new souls

love is rubbing your feet when mine are sore

giving you my last bite when i needed more

filling your cup with flowers

when it was half empty before

needing to hear the sound of your voice

feeling your touch is no longer a choice

making the rest seem like noise

and i will love you and you don't want me to love you

it's when you're needed the most

and i will stand for you

when the world has politely

set like athena on her post

and i will hold you till all the lights dim

i will fill your life to it's brim

and my beautiful friend at the end

may our only regret be we can do it again again

and again

cause that's what love is

you were ready for me

and all my life's paint

my most garish colors you call them quaint

and you loved all of my intentions

you saw me for what i was what they were

the sins of a saint

it's waking each morning to only you and the sun

with ecstasy that another day has begun

and i get to share it with the only one

who took the time to show me

really care to show me what love is

'cause that's what love is
