True love is
Strong;
it makes it through storms.
Isn’t lost.
Doesn’t cost.
Doesn’t hate or scorn.
Is whispered words
and promises that are never worn.
Thrives.
Lasts for eternity
never dies.
Holds you
when you can’t hold yourself.
Looks deep;
knows your heart
and who you are inside.
Loves you even when
you can’t.
It Understands.
Is late-night laughter and joy.
Honors your feelings
and doesn’t play with your emotions like a toy.
Calms your fears,
speaks life to your inner child,
lets you be unique,
and lets your imagination run wild.
Encourages and sparks hope.
Writes you letters
and leaves you love notes.
Says the things
that are hard to say.
Never lies.
Wipes away
the tears from your eyes.
Doesn’t hold grudges
It stays.
Has no ego
and never judges.
There;
when you need someone the most.
Doesn’t leave you
at your lowest.
Makes you smile
with your eyes and heart.
Shows you the light
when you’re in the dark.
Never ever let anybody make you feel
that something as priceless as true love
isn’t real.
