#What's love — Summary

laurayRomantic

It's love when you enter the room. It's love when I look at you. It's love when I hear your voice. It's love when I touch your skin. It's love When I feel you And don't know that I have ever been.

Instead of explaining love, the speaker simply points to it. Each of the first four lines names an ordinary moment: you walk into a room, I look at you, I hear your voice, I touch your skin. The repeated "It's love when" works like a heartbeat, and it makes love feel less like a big idea and more like something the senses pick up one moment at a time.

The ending changes the rhythm. The lines get shorter and slower, and the speaker admits something almost like wonder: "And don't know that I have ever been." The sentence is a little tangled, but the sense seems clear. Whatever the speaker feels now is so new or so strong that nothing before it compares. The mood is tender, simple, and a bit dazzled. There's no drama here, just someone trying to say how much a person's presence changes everything, and finding that plain words are enough.

#Make me

Make me smile. Make me shine. Even if you won't be mine. Make me forget,

#The mirror

A tear is rolling down her face. Her eyes full with feelings. Love and sadness. She got a broken heart.

#Meaning?

Looking up. Right into your eyes. Seeing your smile. At once butterflies.
