Love Is
Jolin Tang
Love is not romance
or relationships
Love is about death
Love is in a cheap rented house
with a cover on the sofa
and dust in your closet
Love is a walk to places you have been
Love is a cry towards stars on a sunny evening
Love is an extreme missing
Love has no meaning
Love itself is meaning
Love is wanting to touch
but touching air
Love is wanting to talk
but talking with myself
Love is not a flower
Love is the deepest sea
Love is an unmarked border
and I cross it with my finger and nerve
or relationships
