About Love
Let me tell you about love, but first
Pause
Love is not restricted to Adam and Eve nor Cain and Abel
Which reminds me love is able
It’s able to spur you on and humble you, pull you in and listen
Please don’t mistake hearing for listening, don’t think you’re understanding me when you’re just
Picking up my sound waves
Instead, pick up what I’m putting down
Empathize with my crying eyes and
Hold me
Hold me tenderly and judgment-free
Sometimes I just need you to hold me
It’s okay to argue
It’s okay to get mad
It’s okay to disagree with me, just talk to
Me
Talk to me, not about me
Don’t whisper petty accusations that crack our solid foundation
Communicate and don’t fear the truth
Say the truth
Say it out loud
Don’t cover it up for my benefit
Love isn’t lies, it’s not deception, it’s not pushing my psyche to the breaking point
Mother loves child and
Husband loves wife or
Husband loves husband or
Wife loves wife and
Friend loves friend and
I love you, but first
Let me tell you about love
