I'd rather have the kind of love
That grows organically
Not forced or rushed
I'd rather have the kind of love
That grows from a wealth
Of shared experiences
One hundred cups of coffee
One thousand laughs
Ten thousand smiles
I'd rather have the kind of love
That burns slowly
Continues to provide warmth
Gives off a steady light
I'd rather have the kind of love
That's built on substance
I'd rather have the kind of love that lasts
Movies and books would have you believe that love has to be a huge explosion of feeling. That the moment you meet someone you should know they're the one. There's more to love than that.
