WHAT  LOVE  IS

Love is the tenderness in your loving touch.
Love is not needing the last word in an argument.
Love is looking at your own faults instead of mine.
Love is sacrificing instead of demanding.
Love is being there during the bad times too.
Love is caring when I'm sick.

Love is being faithful to our union.
Love is the honesty and respect you show me.
Love is giving instead of taking.
Love is making me laugh when I'm depressed.
Love is giving me comfort when I'm sad.
Love is sharing important decisions.

Love is forgiveness when I need it.
Love is being committed to our relationship.
Love is accepting me as I am instead of trying to change me.
Love is holding me and crying with me.




WHY  DO  I  LOVE  YOU?

I Love You not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you.
I Love You not only for what you have made of
yourself, but for what you are making of me.
I Love You for ignoring the possibilities of the
fool in me, and for laying firm hold of the possibilities for good.

I Love You because you have done
more than any creed to make me happy.
You have done it without a word,
without a touch, without a sign.
You have done it just by being yourself.
After all perhaps that is what love means.
