Love Is… # 1

Love is…
The beginning
And the end
And everything in between

Love Is… # 2

Love is…
Taking moments
And making memories
Together

Love Is… # 3

Love is…
The unspoken,
The unwritten,
All the things
We don’t have to say

Love Is… # 4

Love is…
The golden thread
Binding us together

Love Is… # 5

Love is…
The mundane,
The ordinary
And the everyday
Made extraordinary

Love Is… # 6

Love is…
Not making promises
Its keeping them

Love Is… # 7

Love is…
Being comfortable
With each other
Even in the silence

Love Is… # 8

Love is…
Is a dream fulfilled
Or a wish come true

Love Is… # 9

Love is…
Not fearing the quiet
Not doubting in the silence
Not feeding your insecurities
Not being jealous
Jealousy is not love

Love Is… # 10

Love is…
Not a metaphor

Or expressed in symbols

Therapeutically purgative
Like colonic irrigation
