Love Is


Listening to you when you hurt

Listening to me when I hurt

Listening to each other when the truth must come forth

 

Not listening to others' whisper

Not listening to self-doubt

Not believing what you said in anger

 

Being there in your time of need

Being there as my shoulder to cry

Being there to celebrate our victories

 

Not being selfish with your time

Not letting me be isolated by my thoughts

Not becoming someone I am not

 

Love is feeling every painful thought and forgiving

Love is letting go and letting in

Love is allowing mistakes and learning from them

Love is listening to your heart and being true to your self
