love is patient

love is kind

two souls intertwine

it does not envy

it does not boast

although,

there are false hosts

it is not proud

it is not found

it is not rude

some may allude

to it.

it is not self-seeking

others are critiquing

it is not easily angered

without one, the other lingered

it keeps no record of wrongs

that is what makes it strong

love does not delight in evil

but rejoices with the truth

it always protects

always trusts

always hopes 

always perseveres

love never fails

so let us not derail

or bail

let us just exhale

let love glisten

and let others listen

to our story
