Dear _ ,

Love is not about putting up a front. Love is not about acknowledging the other party's relationship solely in name. Love is so much more.

Love is slow, steady yet gives you a rush to the head. Love is about creating sparks. Love is learning to talk with your hearts yet being able to talk about anything underneath the blanket of stars. Love is affectionate. Love is being able to touch, giving hugs sparingly and excessively, planting kisses. Love is about sharing. Love is wanting to share everything and being a tad bit too excited about sharing. Love is about listening and exchanging laughs. Love is knowing how to tickle. Love is about raising your shoulder and carefully guiding a crying face to your shoulder. Love is knowing how to comfort. Love is saying things and meaning them. Love is keeping promises. Love is stealing glances in the midst of a crowd of friends. Love is wanting to be constantly beside each other. Love is never wanting to be apart. Love is not bearing to not talk despite angry selfs. Love is knowing how to put the angst aside and resolving issues. Love is saying things to appease the other. Love is never ever going to bed angry. Love is being able to sieve out deeper emotions from words on the surface. Love is knowing what the other party does not mean to say. Love is not caring what others think. Love is about priority. Love is not egoistical. Love is thinking about the better good of things. Love is about small reminders of love. Love is about daily morning hellos and bedtime goodnights. Love is sending hearts. Love is being sickeningly romantic. Love is wanting to make the other happy. Love is knowing when they're not. Love is wondering if she is hiding in her room crying. Love is not hanging up when she's crying. Love is wanting to help wipe away the tears.
