• It’s not the high levels of serotonin
    or that funny feeling inside.

    It’s not the physical attraction
    or the pheromones that drive.

    Maybe it’s the knowing,
    the hoping,

    the wanting, waiting wishing,
    that click in the back of my mind.

    It’s the way he talks to me
    the mere sound of his voice.

    It’s the way he looks at me
    with that caring in his eyes.

    I know it’s his smile,
    his laugh,

    It’s everything.

    It is the high levels of serotonin
    and that warm bubbly feeling inside.

    It is the physical attraction
    and the pheromones learning to drive

    I know that all my hoping,
    my knowing,

    My wanting, waiting, wishing
    that click in the back of his mind.

    I know what love is
    It’s brown: like the color of his eyes.
