With Love

What is Love 

Is it more than a feeling?

An entity?

 

What is Love?

Is it more than a noun?

An Emotion?

 

What is Love?

Is the word itself describing a language?

Some kind of ancient dialect 

That we continue to speak?

 

See to me

Love is a vector.

An unending,

Undefinable quantity

That unites us between the empty space 

Of everything else in this world,

To measure how close we truly are.

 

But Love 

Is also a vector

One I welcome to infect me

That I would willing let attach to me 

To give me this beautiful substance

Which infects me more viciously 

Than any disease.

 

Love is You.

 

You are Love.

To me. 

 

You see

You make me feel these ways.

You fill me with this warm tea 

That I can feel in my chest when I take a sip.

You stop time.

So that you and I can be floating

Drifting on our own

Touching the clouds of this wonderful

World we have created.

 

And because of this,

I love you.

 

And because I love you

I will part seas and waves of sadness

I will climb mountains of doubt

I will sacrifice sleep, money, fame,

Or anything else valuable to man 

To let you know

You are valuable to me

The most valuable thing 

That nothing else compares to.

 

Because I love you 

I push aside my insecurities 

But I tell you all my flaws

 

Because I love you

I’ll tell you that I’m right 

But humbly admit when I am wrong.

 

Because I love you

I’ll apologize 

Even if I feel I’ve made no mistake

 

Because I love you 

I respect decisions 

You’d like to make 

 

But because I love you I’ll also tell you how I feel about them.

 

Because I love you 

I respect you as a person.

Because I love you

I trust you.

 

And because I love you

And because you love me

I will act as one

And treat you 

The way I’d like you to treat me. 

 

With Love
