What Love Is

I was trapped inside a vacant gap
Leaving written expressions hanging, barely posing as a motive for wanting from him
So much more than any one man should be expected to give
People waltzed around
Dancing, dreaming inside my head
Voices sung aloud, in such astonishing unison
And yet all I saw was him
Grinning like a child
And flaunting such contentment
A glorified accomplishment of feeling
A feeling not known to many men
Could I bother you for just a sip
A taste of happiness
I'll drink from that smile you wear so well
And if we could lay forever with nothing on
I know he'd wrap me in his arms
On those cold and lonely nights
If lonely even existed

Because right now he makes it feel so nonexistent

I do believe you have been duly smitten by the love bug and welcome it with an openness that is refreshing. Good luck.
