Key to Love

The key to love is understanding,
Spoken words and actions.
Little things that say so much.
The things that cause reactions.

The key to love is forgiveness.
Accepting our mistakes,
Not forgetting, but remembering,
To cut ourselves some breaks.

The key to love is sharing,
Fortunes good and bad.
Facing things together,
Will wipe away what's sad.

The key to love is giving,
Free and with your heart.
Without a thought of a return,
That's where love will start.

The key to love is respecting,
Each other's different views
Together with a common bond,
Inspire each other's muse.

The key to love's inside us all,
Patience unlocks the door.
Learning is a lot of work,
With love it's not a chore.
