when i say i love you
what i mean is...
our souls are connected
all the way to
the stars
they weren't always tied
but they are now
when i say i love you
what i mean is...
i see you
i really see you
i see your hopes
your dreams
fears
uncertainties
frustrations
i see it all
when i say i love you
what i mean is...
i see the way
your eyes light up when he walks in
i see the way your son makes you giddy
i see the way you
hug your siblings
your excitement
when your best friend
from afar walks in
when i say i love you
what i mean is..
i love
you.
as you are
when you hold me close
or sing quietly to yourself
when all is calm
+ you are the steadying voice
when you feed your family
+ rock the babes to sleep
i love you.
when you scream
+ tears fill your eyes
mascara streaks your face
when you tear your hair out
+ just have to punch something
i love you.
you see love
is not a feeling
but an action
an act of whole-hearted
acceptance
i will hold your brokeness
with you
because
i.
love.
you.
