Love is

Love is, waking up in the middle of the night, wishing that someone was there to hold you tight. To whisper in your ear how they'll never leave, and that as long as your together everything will be alright. Love is, looking in the mirror and felling your heart plummeting to the bottom of your stomach because they're reflection isn't beside yours. Love is, that burden that weighs your heart, but makes you believe you can fly. Its like waking up in the darkness, where food is bland, colors dull. Where the sights and sounds of the world are less amazing until you see their face. Love is, being with the one, walking hand in hand, where no lust or greed lies between the hearts connected. Its when the sky's just a little bluer, grass a little greener, the song of the blue birds a little sweeter, and the sun shines just a little brighter, encircling your beloveds face, a halo in the darkness. Love is, what lets you know they'll be there forever and always. To help you see your flaws, but let you know they love them. Yo open yourself, your heart, your everything to lay it mercilessly at their feet, even with the risk of it getting torn to pieces. Its wiping away tears. long forgotten and held in, while cradling their face and seeing the pain erupt within their eyes, and you still hang on to them without turning away. Love is, miraculous, and yet so vicious, teaching to forgive and forget, to pick up broken pieces and move an happily. Love is knowing that, that your heart that you'd give it all you had to live just one more day so you could see their face, feel their embrace, and to think they're adorable and love them as if they were perfect. Love is rare, so take my advice.Seize the opportunity to love, for true love happens only once, don't lose it, for its the purest of all.
