Love is more than this "thing" that we feel
It is the commitment shown after
the rush of hormones has finally calmed
It's standing by the promises we've made
Love goes hand in hand with loyalty

Love is forgiveness,
letting past wrongs be totally gone
It is understanding, forbearance
Allowing ego to sit still and be calm
It is watching out for the good of others

Love is in listening and communicating
It is attentiveness and show of care
Love is selflessness
Love is responsibility
Above all, love is a beautiful thing.
