What is Love Love can mean so many things; Love can be so many things, And the word “love” cannot begin to encompass all that it is. What is love without trust, Kindness, Gentleness, Empathy, Understanding, And the pursuit to know each other intimately? Tell me what their laughter sounds like; How contagious it is. Tell me the way their smile lights up the room; How it lights up your heart. Tell me what they enjoy, Their favorite song, Their favorite story, Their favorite memory… And their worst. Tell me what it is that gives them nightmares, What daemons they face and how you face them together. Tell me what it sounds like when their heart breaks; And how you help pick up the pieces and put them back together again? Tell me the rhythm of their heartbeat, Their measured sighs of sleep, Their one most awkward awful thing. You see… It is all these things that create love, Because love is a decision and a lifetime of learning.
