Love Is
When you describe the sun
You describe what makes it shine for you,
Not in the words you use
But in the way your smiling eyes convey the meaning.
When you discuss the stars
You discuss the way you feel for them,
Not in the words you use
But in the way you hold your cloak about your body.
And love is appreciation
And understanding of value.

When you describe the cold
You describe the fire that's warming you,
Not in the words you use
But in the way your face reflects the warmth within you.
When you discuss the night
You discuss the hours that went before,
Not in the words you use
But in the way the rain is falling on your window.
And love is appreciation
And understanding of value.

When you describe the world
You describe what makes it turn for you,
Not in the words you use
But in the way we sing our tuneless songs together.
When you discuss your dreams
You discuss what makes them real for you,
Not in the words you use
But in the way you know no fear when you awaken.
And love is appreciation
And understanding of value.
