Love Is

Putting someone's needs before your own Sharing your thoughts, never feeling alone A tenderness so sweet That sweeps you off your feet A joined journey into the unknown. It's unbridled passion that does consume When their scent becomes your perfume Smiles lit from within Life finally can begin Two peas in a pod that grow full bloom Being your real self with no pretense Filled with ardor, the joy so immense It's butterflies galore Can't wait for what's in store Heart open wide, no longer on defence.

From your poem it's very clear you'd tasted true love before. "Heart open wide, no longer on defence." Classic, Cecelia. Good luck in the contest. My money's on you. :)
