Engrave this on your skin,
Your insides
And everywhere you need,
keep it with you, never forget this:
Love is not anxious.
Love wins.

Love is not that anxiety,
That tight chest, that maddened thought
Emotional nightmares
and much much worse
That bitter breeding brooding thing
That you need to **** but first it has to sting

Love
It's joy and peace
It is waking up with a smile
in your lips

Love waits because he’s sure he’s there
He is so undeniable he needs nothing else
Love is not sickly, love does not ache
Love – the balm for everyday

Love is our eyes. Our hands. This happiness
Filling me from inside.

Love is not a competition,
Love does not keep track of the blame,
because love simply knows no stress.
Love is effortless care.
Do not ask for more. Do not ask for less.
Love is always there.

And I’ve got this thing inside
That tells me “look at the other side”
Look at his faults, fill my head with doubt
and like a sudden sky to a sudden blizzard
when the vision comes, it all clears up

Love is those jeans
that fit you perfect, at home,
when no one sees,
but you're at your most.
Love goes beyond all you are supposed
to know

Love does not obsess. Yet it does not stop me
because I can't help
Thinking about you, wondering when
We’ll be close
Again
And that’s not a sin. That’s not a fail.
