The embarrassment!
My mum and dad are holding hands!
They're kissing in public
Laughing as i cringe
They said one day I'd understand

They taught me what love is
Showed me to care for someone
more than I'd ever care for myself.
Showed me patience and understanding

Your other half may drive you crazy
But they are yours.
To laugh with and cry with.
To shout at and smile with.
A partnership.

Love is making memories
Enjoying each others company,
Playing scrabble, doing the crossword.
Breakfast in bed with the morning paper.
Small things to make each other smile.
Little notes and silly pet names

Love is honest and selfless
It's not perfection, and constant romance
But it's unconditional And never ending
