Love Is...

Love is a simple word, 
but so complex in meaning.
Always thrown around my teens, 
or used as an "Im sorry"...
But never in the right moment, 
Never from the heart.
Love is a simple action, 
beyond just sensual fun.
Its deeper than cards and chocolate.
Love is trusting with a broken heart,
and forgiving all that's wrong.
Love is pushing away your pride,
and crying if you must.
Opening up your heart, 
and seeing from their eyes. 
Love is each and every sacrifice, 
and all the simple things we do.
Love is knowing all of these, 
without ever being told.
