You are love.

I'm alive when I'm with you
Like the first breath of life
Welcoming someone new
The reason my heart keeps beating
When it seems all hope is fleeting

I exist for the joy
Live for the pain
Just to see your smile
I'll always remain

It's a mixture between love & hate
The two opposing forces
Somehow closely relate

I never knew what love meant
Until the day I met you
You're all I've ever known
You became my definition of love
All on your own

You aren't just my soulmate
Not even a companion
Or just another date
To me, you are love

Putting another before you
Just isn't a possibility
When I look at someone else
Your eyes are all I see

Even when love is not returned
It's better to live without it
Than to settle for less
Love has no time limit

Waiting for your love
To finally set me free
& if it never happens
I guess I'll live in captivity
