Love is a choice It’s not a never ending releasing of butterflies drowning out the doubts in the stomach It’s the ability to put aside the “I know I’m right” For the; “we mean more than being right” It’s the willingness to wake up After the frigid night before The conscious decision to be the first to reach out A testing hand touch of “Are you still mad?” Fingertips as light as a fox hunting in snow One hands replying squeeze of “its already forgotten” The other pulling me tighter The frost thawing beneath your heat
