It was a love so strong it could stop the sun form setting
because both of our mothers said to be home before dark
it was bleeding my words into your hands in the back of an astro van
it was forgiveness
it was growing
it was moving forwards and never moving back
it was tossing and turning, trying to find the cool spot of the mattress, but instead finding each other
and it was being okay with that.
Love to me then was driving forty five minutes out of the way just to help you pick out socks at target
It was finding those socks underneath a pile of clothes in my room two months later
Love was patience and kindness and a heart shattering realization that
love was all I had ever wanted and all I ever needed
love was the realization that that was enough
