What Love is Simply Not


Excuse me,

But love is not a calamity,

It is not the sound of plates breaking on a nearby wall,

Or of a heart breaking on the ground,

It is not measurable, 

But it is surely visible,

Love is not hidden behind a mask,

Love is not silenced,

Love is loyal and honest,

It is bright,

Not black and white,

Not on mute but on the highest decibal it can reach,

Because I love you,

Actions speak louder than words,

Because I love you, 

I will entrust you with every facet that renders me vulnerable,

Because I love you, 

I will expect that you respect me,

And trust me,

And love me too.

Because I love you,

I will find it easy to tell you about anything and everything,

And just because I love you,

Doesn't mean you're my bank account,

Because I love you,

I was built to carry all your feelings, 

Excuse me, 

But it's simple to love you.
