Love Is Deaf Not Blind
To expect love is selfish
Though being human it is so
To love means to give to others
Putting all their needs above
To open up to love shows courage
A vulnerability which each person masks
So they won't have to defend themselves
When the other person holds or pulls back
To simply say you love someone
It just is not enough
You must prove the words you say
For love is truly deaf
Love is an action
It's something that you do
Taking care of anothers heart
Before you do yours
I do not believe love is blind
For you're able to see into their souls
To love them truly
You must also choose to love all of their flaws
If you ever have the privilege
If someone allows you inside
Tend to it often
So the love never dies
