Is It Love?

Did you hear the thumping of my heart?

It’s banging like a drum

The more you smile

The more it wants to pop out of my chest

Is it love?

Did you read that poem I wrote?

It’s for you.

I want you to know that I care

And that I’m always here for you.

Is it love?

Did you see me crying all night?

Because you care for someone else,

My heart won’t stop from aching

It feels like its breaking.

Is it love?

Did you ever ask me why?

Why I always follow you around

Why I always support you

Why I always care for you

You should ask “Is it love?”

You’re too dense to notice

And too dumb to respond

You’re an egoist and narcissist

Proud and self-centered

But all of it I know.

I like you just the way you are

I accepted you with all that you’ve got

So I’m only saying it once

Maybe... Just maybe,

It really is love.
