What does love feel like?

It feels like

your arms and legs

wrapped around me

as we sleep

when 30 years ago

we slept

on opposite sides of the bed

unused to the presence

of another

It feels like

the warmth

that envelops me

every time you look at me

every time you say I love you

every time you leave the house

with your eyes still on me

at the door

waving

If feels like

side-splitting laughter

at our very silly jokes

the singing out of tune

You are so beautiful to me

the dancing in the kitchen

to music in our heads

voicing simultaneously

the most random thoughts

It feels like

us cleaning the house

you working in the garden

me cooking and baking

us eating and washing dishes

us reminiscing about

when our son was -

when we were -

young

It feels like

the delight that makes

my heart jump

my eyes fill

with tears of joy

and trepidation

because our little boy

now a man

shows that he knows

what love feels like.
