If one would have to put a symbol on love
I would be a heart
Me though
I would use a real heart
Not the easy ones you draw as a kid
No
A real one
Raw, natural, important and with purpose.
Or maybe I would use a candle.
Real and authentic
With a comforting warm light.
Maybe I would choose the moon.
Beautiful, simple, complex
And Lighting up the dark.
Or maybe
Just maybe I would choose a laugh.
Refreshing and nurturing
Always putting a smile on my face.
I know that's not how many would picture it
But I find that even better
Knowing their thoughts are generic and fused together
While mine is just on you.
