Loving somebody isn't always about touch
Its about knowing what to say
And knowing how and when to say it
It's about expressing yourself not through physical touch
But through touching someone emotionally
Being able to be that one person,
The only person
Who is able to be there for someone
And not always needing to have someone there
Its about how to look into someone
And not just touch their heart
But their soul
It's about being okay with being afraid
And knowing that it's part of learning how to love
"All these ideas are great,
But how do we know if we truly love someone?",
They said
In honesty, I don't know
I don't know what love's true definition is
Because nobody I've met has matched mine
We all have different ideas of what love is truly is
We all have different ideas of what loving someone is like
We all have different ideas of what love signifies in a person
And we definitely have different ideas on who to love
But one thing we all have in common
Is that we need love in our lives
Whether it be a friend's love
Or a love of someone you can commit yourself to
Love would be the heart's way of breathing
And the mind's way of nurturing
Although 9 times out of 10, love hurts
It teaches us something throughout the 9 times
It teaches us to keep searching day and night
To try our best for the 10th time.
