-love-

Word: Love

I'll
repeat
it over
and over, as
many times as I
can in this short lifetime.
“I love you”, no matter what
I say in the future, I will 
always love the soft and caring you.
In time we can't see, I hope you will too. 
When it seems like I hate you, when you smile,
I can't help but also smile along. 
Because I love you so much, I
will always be here to hold
your hand through the worst times.
Maybe one day, you'll
hold my hand back,
and show me 
your love 
too.
When
others
bring you down, 
I hope I'll be 
able to lift you. 
Spread your wings wide and touch
them to the sky above, for 
it is the only limit you 
will ever have when I'm here with you. 
I will break down every barrier that
attempts to keep you from moving forward,
because I know you would do the same. 
So for every day we are here,
I promise to repeat those 
words until you believe 
that I wouldn't lie.
Over until
you smile and
learn to
love.
