Love Is

I love her. 

I really do. 

I love her so much. 

It’s all I presently know about myself. 

I love her and I want to tell her that once every hour for the rest of my life. 

I love her. 

I really do. 

Nothing is more true. 

I don’t need her, 

But I want her. 

I want her more than I want anything else. 

I love her.

I really do. 

It’s almost all I can feel right now. 

But,

What is love?

What is it? . . . Do you know? . . .

Well, I thought about it a little bit.

And here's what I came up with: 

Love is patient 

Love is kind

    Love is understanding

Love is healing

   Love is hope

Love is believing 

    Love is forgiving 

Love is warmth 

    Love is safe

Love is a seed

    Love is a blessing

Love is special

   Love is rare

Love is how the soul speaks

    Love is bold

Love is strong 

   Love is steady 

Love is secure

   Love doesn’t fear

Love amplifies 

   Love never diminishes 

Love expands

   Love grows

Love is our magic

    Love believes 

Love is bright

   Love is to fly

Love is to choose. 

After defining love

I know that when I say 

‘I love her’

It isn’t bullshit 

I would swear it

On my life.
