What are Lovers?

What are lovers

 And what do they do

Do they shiver at the same time when the wind blows under their clothes

Do they get jealous when the sun steals their kisses

Where do they go when the moon is guiding them

Do they shine together when they are embraced by darkness

Do they share the same shadow when they walk

What are lovers and what do they do

How long will they love

Are they able to know hatred

Do they notice the weakening grip around their waists

If they do, why do they love

Love, love, love is pain when it's spelled right

 Love is praised when it hurts the most

And pain is hated when it does not

So we marry the pain when it kisses us

To guide us and hold us near

Keep us dear, keep us safe

Numb us from the fire and icy seas

For that's what lovers are

And that's what lovers do

They marry each other

And they love
