Love Is Not


What love is not

Love is not cynical

Love is not unkind

Love is not controlling

Love is not blind

 

Love does not harm

Love does not boast

 

Love isn't a father weighing down his children

Love is not domestic violence, then saying 'I love you'

Love is not toxic friends who use you

Love is not saying you'll be there for someone, then leaving them feeling lonely

 

Love is not words

Love is action

 

Now is the time to prove your love

Through a simple thing called actions
