Love Is...


Love is always being there,
together side by side
Love is Sunday afternoon,
and going for a ride

Love is when your screaming,
and you can not hear a sound
Love is when your dreaming,
and you heart begins to pound

Love is when your flying,
and your not afraid to fall
Love is when you’re dying,
and you’re glad you made that call

Love is when you still feel warm,
after the sun has set
Love is something that nobody,
ever should regret

Love is when a moment seems,
like it can last forever
Love is when your tired jokes,
now somehow seem so clever!

Love is when you figure out,
that you can stop pretending
Love is one big love story,
that doesn’t have an ending

Love is when your living,
and you’re not afraid to die
Love is when your laughing,
but you’d really rather cry

Love is when you your holding hands,
while you’re asleep at night
Love is when you go to leave,
but then she holds you tight

Love is when you hurt so bad,
your soul begins to bleed
Love is when she holds the key
to everything you need

Love is when your heart is torn,
and you don’t want to live
Love is always giving,
till you have no more to give

Love is possibilities,
you never knew you had
Love is being happy,
and love is being sad

Love is making breakfast,
and then serving her in bed
Love is when you brush her hair,
then kiss her on the head

Love is always worrying,
whenever she is gone
Love is looking at the stars,
until the break of dawn

Love is looking in her eyes,
and knowing it is real
Love is something you can’t touch,
or smell, but you can feel

Love is when you get knocked down,
and help each other up
Love is when you share your coffee,
from a single cup

Love is when you see her face,
and find it hard to breathe
Love is that one miracle,
that only you believe

Love is who you call,
when your whole life becomes unfurled
Love is everything that ever,
mattered in this world

Love is when you both can talk,
without saying a word
Love is after she is gone,
and she can still be heard

Love is when you buy her chocolates
in a heart shaped box
Love is when you say, “Oh Wow,
just what I needed, sox?”

Love is when you feel a cringe,
whenever she has pain
Love’s the highest power,
that you ever will attain

Love is eating tuna,
cause the bills have piled up
Love is eating macaroni,
with a little ‘chup

Love is giving her a bite,
of everything you buy
Love is when she bites too much,
and then you want to cry

Love is always running,
when you have nowhere to hide
Love is being real sad,
the day the music died

Love is when she brings you tea,
and hands you the remote
Love is when she tells you yes,
that you can buy a boat

Love is when you buy a woman’s product
that she needs
Love is when they do a price check,
and you hit your knees!

Love is when you use her car,
and fill it up with gas
Love is when her parent’s come,
and so you cut the grass

Love is when you change her
windshield wipers in the rain
Love is knowing when to fight,
to have the most to gain

Love is when you rub her back,
for nothing in return
Love is when your hands are cold,
and she begins to squirm

Love is when you’re chilly,
cause she’s hogging all the covers
Love is when she winks and says,
“Come Here, My Latin Lover!”

Love is when you help each other,
out of all the ditches
Love is when she has to wash,
your nasty under britches!

Love is when you buy some roses,
for her on the street
Love is when she sees them,
and then throws them at your feet

Love is when she’s gained some weight,
and tries on smaller slacks
Love’s not saying, she looks like,
two bobcats in a sack!

Love is after you are done,
you put the seat back down
Love is when she leaves it up,
and then your tushy drowns!

Love is the ability,
we all have to forgive
Love is every reason,
that we try so hard to live

Love is what I’m feeling,
when I’m thinking just of you
Love is when you’re happy,
but you don’t know what to do

Love is simply all these things,
and many many more
Now go make your own Love Is...
and please... do shut the door

Although the Valentine Holiday is normally
looked upon as a day to express your affection
to your sweetheart. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of the wonderful
people here at PIP, who have reached out
and given me their support. I wish I
had the words to adequately
express, how much your
friendship really
means to
me
I wish for you all, continued health,
and happiness. Oh, and of course, a
Happy Valentines Day!
Love Always,
Richy

Richy

You are rich with words and they all sound just like love.  I am so glad that you have become part of this family!

my favorite:

"Love is the ability,

Richy, I wanted to quote some of this beautiful
and so very true poem, but couldn't do a favorite
part because there are so many. I'm going to keep
this one, too. I hope that you had a very good Valentines Day.
Hugs

Hey Richy

This would have to be an absolute favourite write.  It was so good I couldn't pick a single verse that I liked better than the other because they were all fantastic!!!

You summed up perfectly what love is all about and your words left me with the biggest smile.  We are so fortunate to have your remarkable talent here with us.

"For true love is inexhaustible,
the more you give, the more you have.
And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead,
the more water you draw, the more
abundant is its flow"

Take care

Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

Love is when you figure out,
that you can stop pretending

Oh, yes. *S* When someone KNOWS the flaws you try so hard to hide... and acceptance chases apprehensions into oblivion. *S*

Beautiful work, Richy... and a belated Happy Valentine's Day to you... I'm glad you're here! *S*
