that is love.
Because I love you:
I am me.
No more walls
No more faces
Because I love you,
I took off my mask
I showed you who I was,
And you loved me.
And you loved me
Despite the ugly
Despite the mess
No.
Because of the ugly
Because of the mess.
Because you love me:
Words that float beneath the surface
Spill out of me
Around me
Over us.
Words that I never spoke to myself
You brought out of me.
Because I love you:
There is no fear
There is no
There is
There.
That is love.
