Because its not how many times you kiss or say 'I love you'.
Its not how many movies you see together or how much money is spent on one another.
Its not even how many hours you're together.
Because anyone can say 'I love you.'
Anyone can hug you and play with your hair.
Anyone can say 'I care, I'll take care of you, Don't worry, it'll be ok.'
Anyone can say 'You're pretty' and have an armful of chocolate and flowers.
And if it means something, it plays a part, it matters.

But what really matters...
What really counts when it comes down to it...
When all is said and done and its just you and your thoughts,
Aren't the moments you stop and think 'I wish this moment could last forever'
Its the moments you don't have time to think.
Its times when you feel like that is your life.
Theres no beginning...
Theres no end...
For you... For that moment, that is your life, thats all that ever has been and all that ever will be.
And you know it...
Without even thinking so.

What counts is the moments where everything speeds up,
Everything happens in the blink of an eye...
And the music to your life picks up hits a crescendo and your eyes meet...
And then...
All of a sudden nothing moves...
Time simply ceases to tick.
And without saying a single word, you say more than you could in a lifetime...
All in that one moment...
All in that one little moment.
Its the moments when you're least expecting it and to the everyday observer,
Its nothing out of the world, extraordinary.
Nothing to take notice of...
But to you...
It is the world.
Its love.

And at one point these moments,
Cease to remain moments,
And instead become you.
They become a part of you.
They become a part of love.

And it can never be described,
It can't even be discussed between people who've experienced it.
Its personal, individual, immortal.
It can't be forgotten, blurred, or changed.
It'll make you smile when your down,
Pick you up when you've got a frown,
Give you your own little escape,
Even if for only a moment.

Its the moments you wouldn't trade for anything,
Nothing would ever compare.
It's the moments that make life worth living,
Love worth having,
Happiness... worth sharing.
They keep you alive when you're down and out,
When you think its all over and done for and you've lost.
But O,
How wrong you are,
For with these moments, it is impossible to be alone.
It defies all rules of life and nature and at the saddest times,
These moments you hold within you burn like that of a thousand suns,
And keep you warm in the coldest hours,
Illuminating before you the path escaping the hell you're in.

What really counts in the end...
Is the things you cant describe at all.

Its love.
