I thought I knew what love was.

Love was late night texts,

and nose kisses,

and wanting to see them all the time.

Love was mixtapes,

and presents,

and thinking about them at night.

I thought that was love.

Then I met her.

Suddenly, love was her putting the stars in my sky,

and her being the first thing on my mind in the morning,

and looking forward to seeing her for even a moment.

Love turned into memorizing the curve of her lips,

and trying to make her laugh
because I loved the sound of it,

and finding any excuse to touch her.

Love wasn't held in any object.

It was the way she didn't mind when my leg brushed against hers.

Love wasnt captured in a song.

It was the glint in her eyes when she smiled at me.

Love wasnt kissing or hugging or cuddling.

It was just feeling her warmth next to me.

It was the way I watched her when she was concentrating on something.

It was the way I wanted to be perfect for her,

even though she claimed she liked me the way I already was.

And that's what love was.

She taught me what love was.
