love is shown is many ways
not just with kisses and hugs
open invites into their home
regardless if it’s day or night
supporting their dreams
even when you don’t understand them
assuming their intentions are good
not having to examine the outcome
getting excited for them
even when you don’t directly benefit
caring for them deeply
even when you feel hurt
believing what they say
with zero doubt in your mind
baking them their favorite treat
even though you hate it
setting healthy boundaries
encouraging them to as well
sitting down and listening
really listening without judgement
admitting when you’re wrong
taking responsibility over your actions and behaviors
love is many things
even letting them go
when you know you’re holding them back
