The definition of love is "a feeling of deep intense affection"
This didn't make much sense to me though
In fact if you told this to a child they'd be confused
So I decided to write my own definition
One that best explains what love is to me
It is staying with someone despite their flaws or beliefs
Standing beside them no matter the ups or downs
It's when your eyes meet and your minds become one
Being vulnerable in your emotions and sharing them
Trusting them enough to be yourself, even the person no one else sees
That fuzzy warm feeling when seeing them or something they like
It is caring so ******* deeply that it hurts
It is waiting for them with an umbrella because you know they hate getting wet, and it is pouring outside
It is Oreo cookies in a sandwich baggie, in an even amount, to watch their eyes light up in happiness
It is holding one another after nightmares that will forever haunt you both
It is dancing in the dark basement, carefree and happy, messily tangled together
It is the question game at midnight because you're both insomniacs
It is slushies in my car, cuddled close, as the radio softly hums
It is watching movies, both of us together, not at all paying attention
It is the future we see in one another
Love is
Whatever you want it to be to you
What is love to you?
