Love is Being Loved

Love is Being Loved

Love is more than sex
With the man who resides in your heart
It's lying next to him at night
With the comfort of him being there
It's being able to turn over
And staring into one another's eyes
Until he gives you his sheepish grin
And you laugh until your cry
It's leaning in for a kiss
After you've rubbed your hand
On the stubbles on his chin
It's feeling his warm breath
Lingering on the back of your neck
It's listening to his calm and soothing voice
Like floating in some peaceful mountain stream
That lies on only one map...the map of Eden
It's leaning into him
Feeling his heart beat in his chest
And feeling it quicken
When your lips touch
It's knowing he will stick around
To hold your hand on winter walks
He's your shoulder to cry on
And someone to deeply admire, no to love
It's a love to never be lost
Love is being loved
By the man you love the most
