Love is.....

Love is
singing her favorite song to her
when she is having a bad day.
Even though you don't know all
the words.

Love is
picking up the phone at 3 in the morning
because something scared her.
Even though you got to wake up at 5.

Love is
trying to get along with her brother
who hates you.
Even though he has no problem with you
buying him gifts.

Love is
wiping her tears away with your finger
before they get the chance to fall.
Even though you have a tissue.

Love is
taking off your sweater and covering her
when her body shivers while she sleeps.
Even though you're freezing yourself.

Love is
knowing you would do all of that
and much more,
to have the chance to hear her say
"I love you" again.
