LOVE

What is love; can it be defined?

Is it the joy I feel when he is near;

The flutter in my heart,

Or the ringing in my ear,

The lump in my throat

That keeps me from saying

All the things I want him to know;

The understanding I have of him

That makes me want to share

In all the things he likes to do;

The sorrow that I feel

Whenever we're apart?

Is love all these things and more?

Is it love that makes me want to spend

The rest of my life making him happy?

If only someone could answer these questions

And tell me,







AM I IN LOVE?



OR



JUST



A



FOOL!

Jan,
This is beautiful, you truely describe the feelings of someone in love... the fool would be the one who never takes a chance to love or to be loved....
Very well written...
Peace and Love
Judy
