This is Love
I'm smiling again
On the bus
At work
Crying softly on the stairs.
I'm remembering again
The moments you and I have spent together
The good
The bad
The in between
And they make me smile.
The time we tried going to the beach and it began to rain
Yet we stayed and danced around
And when the rain lifted and we went home
We curled up in blankets by the fire and you held me tight.
The time we worked on our yard
And you sacrificed your outdoor bar
For my thriving garden.
The time I got sick
And had to stay in the hospital
You laid beside me
Reassured me that you'd never leave
That you'd be there for me no matter what
And gave me a reason to fight.
The time we argued
We were stressed
And needed somebody to blame
I ended up crying at the bottom of the stairs
And you came and sat down next to me
With a fresh picked rose
And hugged me tight
Whispering "I'm sorry" to each other.
You've seen me at my worst
Anxiety
Depression
Yet you stayed
And when I asked "Do you still love me? Do you still care?"
You smiled and kissed my forehead.
And said
"Always."
