To Love

To love

is to die

To love

is to sacrifice our pride

To love

is to let someone live within

To love

is to be hurt some day

To love 

is to know

happiness is only real when shared

To love

is to truly trust 

To love

is to overcome our lust

To love 

is to be irrational

To love

is to believe

To love

is to give someone hope

To love

is to be steady when things get heavy

To love

is to accept someone else fully

To love

is to forgive

To love 

is to hold a safe space for someone exactly as they are

To love

is the last of the light from a dying star

To love 

is to see someone 

To love 

is to understand

To love 

is to dance with another's darkness

To love

is to be patient 

To love

is to become 

To love

is to live

To love

is to feel the full spectrum of human emotions

To love

is to be open 

To love

is to die

a little death,

sacrificing a piece of yourself

in exchange for a piece

of someone else. 

To love

is terrifying.
