What Love Is


Love is sacrifice

Because I love you, I put you first

Love is acceptance

Because you love me, you embrace my flaws

Love is laughter

Because I love you, life is funnier with you

Love is hard

Because you love me, our fights don't tear us apart

Love is happiness

Because I love you, you light up my world

Love is pain

Because you love me, you had to leave
