What Love Is

¨Because I love you¨ is not an excuse

especially when it comes to abuse.

When all they do is love and care,

your problems are also theirs to bear.

They build you up so you feel strong,

and make you feel like you belong.

Your protector and silent support,

there for you when you come up short.

Love is communication and loyalty,

and when around them feeling like royalty.

Wanting the best for them, even if that's not you.

That is how you know your love is true.
