Who is to say what love is?
Who is to say what love is?
From the fluttering heart
That sees a face long missed.
To the tearful, breathless wrench
of love only ever found in the moment.
Or a love that speaks of blood shared,
Of a bond that can’t be broken.
Of a light that can never be dimmed by adversity
Who is to say what love is?
Because, love seeks no favor,
nor does it seek permission.
It seeks no title, no praise, or reward.
Love, simply is
Love, never blames, always forgives and cannot be diminished by distance,
Or weakened by time.
Love is what is left
when everything else deserts you.
Who is to say what love is?
Only you, because Only you - know
~~~~ In the Beyond Paradise “Christmas Special 2025” - Humphrey & Martha’s wedding scene, Selwyn’s “Who is to say what love is…” reading doesn’t appear to be a published poem with a separate credited poet. It’s presented as original dialogue from the episode’s script, and the episode is credited as written by Tony Jordan.
