Love is a double-edged sword,
A figureless carousel of dreams and hopes and broken glass.
A piano missing all the keys, and yet,
Singing a melody of tears.
Love is a great, big, thump!
Right in the center of your chest,
That swoons you left to right in embarrassment.
And,
Love,
Is a mysterious figure,
On a Sunday afternoon,
Who brushes his hair back with two fingers and says,
I love you.

Again, I love it, esp. the last three : "On a Sunday afternoon,/ Who brushes his hair back with two fingers and says,/ I love you." They made this poem for me. 5 stars and a Favorite! Keep it up :) You have such a talent!
