Analysis of What is Love



Love is a smile that warms the heart, a
touch that says I care.
A glance across a crowded room that only two
can share.
Love is walking hand in hand, whispered
words and sighs.
Seeing joy reflected in one anothers eyes.

Love is cherished memories and sweet dreams
coming true.
Love is all these precious things for love,
to me, is you.
