Love is...many small pieces of you (and more)


Yesterday, everyone (but me) was out on a date. People were busy spending their money to celebrate their love, declare their love or prove their love to their better halves. While the whole world is busy loving, I decided to write about love instead...

LOVE IS...

Calling you every day, just to hear your voice.

Dancing on the side of the highway, just to have an excuse to hold you close while I’m stressed.

Kissing you when you have cough, and not ever caring if I catch it too.

Never letting my eyes wander from yours, even when we’re naked.

Telling you I love you every chance I get, even if you already know.

Not playing that song every single time you ask, because I don’t want you to get sick of it.

Screaming myself hoarse at one of our friends, just because he made you upset.

Telling you about my past, even though I do my best to forget.

Enjoying your faults as much as your good points.

Being unable to sleep without you in my arms.

Liking the friend that makes you happy sometimes, even if I think he’s a flirt.

Not screaming like a sissy when your mom calls me, even though she scares the shit out of me.

Crying as I leave town, even though I know I’ll be back.

Knowing how beautiful you are, even when you don’t feel like it.

Going at your pace, and then being slightly molested when you felt ready.

Dropping everything I want to do with a smile on my face, for something you want to do.

My heart melting when you answer the phone, even if you’re half asleep and grumped.

The best moment of my life being there when you cried, and I was able to hold you and tell you everything was alright.

Singing for you because you like it.

Telling you to call me whenever you want, even though I love to sleep.

Smiling like an idiot every time you tell me how much you like me.

Rubbing your nose with mine, just so we’re touching.

Knowing how to behave, and just not wanting to around you.

Making you laugh, and feeling like everything is right with the world when you do.

Feeling like everything is right with the world whenever you speak.

Always wondering if there is someone better for you, but knowing there’s no one better for me.

Making jokes at your expense during monster movie night, and then feeling like shit about it for days after.

Finally growing the balls to tell you how much I love You.

Writing every fluffy thing I ever have, while thinking of you.

Making a stupid list of ways that I love you, just because I wanted to surprise you.

Watching chick flicks, and liking them because they make you happy.

Not caring about the you-know-what, but giving you a reason to never do it again.

Apologizing for being an immature asshole, as often as I can.

Seeing fireworks, the heavens open up, and angels singing hallelujah, all from a kiss.

Not forbidding you from hanging out with the idiot, even though it does make me a little jealous.

Trust.

Riding home in silence after leaving your house, just so I’m not distracted and can think about you in peace and quiet.

Using you and peace and quiet in the same sentence.

Meaning “same here” every single time I say it, and not just saying it to be agreeable.

Picking an argument because I love to hear you win.

Never letting you win, but losing anyways.

Always ignoring the outside world for a three hour IM conversation about nothing.

Hanging on to your every word as if it were my life, because it is.

Knowing you’re the one.

Being more than ready to say “I do,” whenever you are.

Love is YOU... many small pieces of you and more.
