Love isn't like stories
Love is holding her close
Breathing her in
Matching your breath with hers
Love is wiping her tears away
Memorizing her laugh
Making her smile
Love is sharing in jokes
Private affairs
No one else could understand
Love is being understanding
Watching her walk away
Following her anyway
Love is the joy in her eyes
The crinkle in the corners
The gleam in her pupil
Love is the mess of her hair
The art she creates
The poems she writes
Love is the hugs that she gives
The cuddles she offers
The warmth of her body against yours
Love is watching her go
Getting left behind
But it's okay
Love is letting her go
Happy with him
It's enough
Love isn't like stories
But I wouldn't have it any other way

Love isn't like stories
Love is holding her close
Breathing her in
Matching your breath with hers
Love is wiping her tears away
Memorizing her laugh
Making her smile
Love is sharing in jokes
Private affairs
No one else could understand
Love is being understanding
Watching her walk away
Following her anyway
Love is the joy in her eyes
The crinkle in the corners
The gleam in her pupil
Love is the mess of her hair
The art she creates
The poems she writes
Love is the hugs that she gives
The cuddles she offers
The warmth of her body against yours
Love is watching her go
Getting left behind
But it's okay
Love is letting her go
Happy with him
It's enough
Love isn't like stories
But I wouldn't have it any other way
