all these years
of hearing
I love you
from those who only ever hurt me
truly twisted the way
I viewed love.
I thought
if they hurt me
they didn't mean anything by it,
because after all
they are only human.
but
when I met you,
you showed me
how love is.
how gentle.
how happy.
how reviving.
it wasn't until you
that I had no clue at all
what love is.
