If This Is Love

The nights have always been the longest part of my days;
Alone and tired and nothing to do,
Feeling so cold even when I'm warm.
I pray for morning just so I have company in the sun
But even that is fleeting.
In your arms I am somewhere between happy and okay
And that is more than enough for me.
You hold my fears away,
Bring laughter to my empty chest that shakes me whole again.
Do I have to leave you behind?
A man so bold as to ask me what I'm feeling
And actually wants to hear the answer -
You make me feel better, be better.
I am more comfortable around you than with anyone I've ever met
And I can be myself.
If this is love, I want it forever.
