You Are

Love in 50 words

By Andrew C McDonaldPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

I would give my life to save yours

Sacrifice my happiness for yours

Take upon myself any pestilence to spare you

Carry you barefoot over hot coals to safety

Forego food to ensure you were fed

You are the meaning of life

The center of the universe

You are love
