I Thought I Needed Your Love


Love is complicated

tangled threads and choking wires

deep breaths and heartbreaking smiles

 

Love is simple

little notes and loud sounds

sincere words and warms hands

 

i still don’t know what Love is

is it just I Love You

or is it Actions Speak Louder Than Words

 

your actions spoke loudly

but not of Love

i’m slowly learning

 

Love is more about

being together on long nights

laughing without fear

 

than being sorry for making you mad

because you Love me, want what's best

best for you i see now

 

i thought i needed Love from you

but i’m finding it elsewhere

and i don’t need yours anymore
