Asking how they slept
Making a cup of tea just right
Picking up a book they’d like to read
Worrying, so much worrying
Remembering something they said that made you laugh
Listening to things that aren’t said out loud
Telling the truth, no matter how hard
Feeling stronger than you are because they believe in you
Rising above small stuff
Recognising your flaws when all you can see is theirs
Being ordinary together
Being carefree together
Making time for each other
Finding the funny in the misery
Believing in them when they cannot believe in themselves
Remembering why you fell in love
Laughing at things no one else finds funny
The smell of their skin
Showing up, every time, always show up
Accepting the ugly as well as the beauty
Sticking with them through the dark days
Reminding them there will be good days again
Love is…
Sometimes, letting go
Love is…
Not all hearts and flowers
Love is…
Love is the only thing that matters and the hardest thing to master
It’s worth it.
