Though I haven’t loved someone
Like a husband and wife
Love each other
I know what I want in love
What my definition of love is

When I fall in love
I will love all the small things he does
The little things he says
The quirks and bad habits
Nervous habits
I will love how he treats other people
How he interacts
If he’s quiet or outgoing
I will love how he knows who he is
Throughout all of it
I’ll love how he holds my hand
Whenever he can
Little glances across the room
And conversations
With our eyes
I will love how he understands me
The good and bad
And how I understand him
I will love him
Because he loves me
In love I don’t want to agree on everything
That would make life boring
But I want to be able
To agree on our love for each other
And that it can get us through

When I’m in love
I know it won’t be perfect
It will be hard
But I want the chance
To love someone
With all I am
And for them
To do that in return

So when I am old enough
To really understand love
I hope I’ll remember this poem
And find someone
To love unconditionally
Perfect or not
