To Love

If you're going out with someone,
Don't say you love them, until you really mean it.
If you don't wait, then it doesn't mean anything.
You're just throwing it out there,
without thinking about the consequences.
To love someone means to be there with them,
and for them no matter what
To be happy to see them,
to always want to give them hugs and kisses,
and touch, and be there when the cry,
or stick up for them when they have no one else,
or tell them they're wrong, or they're loved,
or even just that you understand.
To love someone is to be able to sit down,
and just listen to them, without giving an opinion.
To love is to love, nothing more, nothing less.
Don't take it for granted,
because one day,
it'll come back to bite you where it hurts the most.
