The Battle in Love

Because I love you

You are my greatest rival

Our every action is a competition

Athletics, academics, and so much more

A race to the finish, to stand at the top

But it’s a friendly battle to better ourselves

And pick each other up when we fall

To give each other words of encouragement

For each victory is for both persons

We become stronger both physically and mentally

Lifting up the weights of knowledge

And you will be there behind it all

Supporting me like a rigid wall

Just as I would do the same for you

At the end of a long day I have you by my side

Enveloping me in your blanket of warmth

Our love for each other unlocks our potential

We become better for each other

And in turn for ourselves

Trusting each other to always give our all

To be each other's greatest enemy and goal

To push through the thick and thin

It may seem weird but that’s how love is

I know this because I love you
