Love . What is love? Love is an intense feeling of deep affection. Love will make you do things love does not do. Because I love you I will let you use me as a punching bag every Tuesday and Thursday night. Because I love I cover the bruises before Friday so you won't feel guilty. Because I love I'll ignore the panties I found by our bed that's obviously not mine. Because I love you I will put your needs and safety before mine. Because I love I wouldn't dare call the police when my body is revolving after the 15th punch and the 7th kick to my stomach and face. Because I love I will leave everything that came before you for you. Because I love you I will bow my beliefs down and pick up yours. Because I love you I'll always wear long sleeves and sweaters so no one will suspect anything. Because I love you I will roll over and let you top ignoring that fact that my body tired.  Because I love you I will let you get me pregnant knowing in my heart that you're not ready. Because I love you I will pretend to be enemies with the sun and never leave the house. Because I love you I will find things to do every time my friends want to hang out. Because I love you I will take every excuse as the truth. Because I love you I will take on every one of your insecurities as my own. Because I love you I will be a slave for your love, But in reality, it does not love at all. It's the disease that affects lust making it more than what it really is. Love really is rejecting anything less than what I'm giving. Love is respecting myself and not bowing down to anything short of amazing. Love is creating each other as special jews that need to be created with care. Love is trusting me with your heart. Love is supporting each other. Love is respecting my boundaries. Love is giving equal effort to the relationship. Love is being happy with me alone. Love is when both sides are happy. Love is when both sides can't live without the other.
