She She she 14 and and and asked me so nonchalant with all the innocence in the world
"oh and.Mom..What is love?"
My response.......oh baby girl...
Love is sitting next to someone in silence
just enjoying there presence
praying for them
more then you do yourself
&Defending; them in their absence
Morning breathe&
Kisses on the forehead
Love is **** rubs
Its Truth....Even if it hurts to say & hurts to hear ....it's truth
It's soup when you have a fever  
a kind word when you're hurt
Forgiveness
Laughter
Tears
Not being able to stay angry
Picking up on someone else's energy &
having them pick up on yours &
acting accordingly
It's red!...And dimpled!
Occasionally love is saying no
But mostly saying yes
Loyalty
respect
Understanding
True love is unconditional &blinding;
Love is...Love is...!!love is...!!
It's the moment when you just know...
that no matter what...
you will protect that person with every single ounce
I saidevery single ounce!
of your heart
Love is hard sometimes
if one sided or askew
Confusing
liberating
exhausting
scary
Can be hurtful
It's Exciting!
Eliating!
!Love is It's it's it's aloaf of bread
A song
A half bagel
A ride
A blanket
Shoes
Cup of coffee
A dollar dropped to the guy playing guitar on the corner
Hey. Lunch is on me
Sometimes just someone to talk to
Love is Hard work
patients
Holding on while pretending to let go
Love is Smiling when all you really want to do is cry
&moving; forward when your heart is in your throat
Love sees Everything!!
Never being defined as one single entity
It's ....Hand holding
Bodies folding
Ever changing
Plan making
ForgivingForgiving Forgiving
Love is
Love is
Never saying goodbye
I said never saying goodbye ....
even when you have to
Keeping promises
Leaping
fleeting
Disappearing...
Creation
Elevation
Love is Fried chicken
Love yells!
It's being able to say "******* mo'fuka!Now give me a hug."
It's "call me when you get home.
"It's "honey. What statement are we making with this outfit?"
Love is saying "Put your seatbelt on!"
It's "good morning beautiful" or "dream sweet My luv".....
It's all of those things.
It's bubbles to infants
teddy bears to little girls&
oil changes
It's pumping gas & opening doors
It's "how are you"
"I miss you."
Love is putting the door back on!
Tightening the hinges
And batting down the hatches
Its passion !!!
& a good old fashion *** whoopin
It's "oh you fixin ta learn Son!
"Love is labor pains
Bail money
Sleepless nights
PTA
Crying when you cry
Never being afraid to apologize
Saying "I need you... in ...my life
"Car pools
Football games
Swim practice
School dances
Picture taking
Packing lunches
Road trips
&Cliffs;
Bridges
KissesKissesKisse
sLove is missed
Dissed
And generous
Lessons taught...And made
Love isLove isLove is
You inhabiting my body for 7 months & 23 days!!
poetry &
Water
Love is engaging
Sometimes enraging
listens&whispers;
I love you in your sleep
Tickles
&Giggles;
&Stands; still!!
Allowing yourself the opportunity to heal
Staying when it's hard
And knowing when to walk away
Love leaves us blessed.
It leaves reason for all the rest
It's all those things plus so much more
&when; you least expect it it it it floors!
you!
in every which way!
Love is grand all by its self
It expands!
Shifts
morphs
Hardens
&softens;
It's a bummed cigarette
A conversation
A moment lost in the celebration...Of us.
You and me
We are both sensational beings
With the choice
We could run from the light in our hearts
Or live fearlessly with it right on our sleeves
Love isLove is Love is
Our first breathe
Holding us until death
And Baby girl,
We can all relateTo the spectacular
I said the spectacular heartbreak
Of love...
