L o v e was domestic violence

L o v e was emotional abuse 

L o v e was choosing him over me

L o v e was staying because you've already invested in so much time 

L o v e was miserable 

L o v e was pain 

L o v e was just a 4 letter word

L o v e was something i never wanted to experience because of all of these things

Until 

I met

Her.

He is kind to me 

He motivates me 

He reminds me of my beauty 

She values my laughter

She encourages my smile 

He believes in me 

He makes sure im HAPPY

They changed

and continue to change

my perspective of love

Love isnt just a 4 letter word

Love has meaning now.
