Love

Love
Is when
You don’t mind
Being apart from you
Because you know you must

It means
We do this
Because we want to
As long as we have to

In spite of the bad times
Or maybe it’s
Because the bad times
Make the rest of it
Shine that much more brightly later
And we treasure each other more thereby.

When you feel bad
Because you feel guilty about
Telling me something would hurt you
That hurt just says what I know
Already, which is that you do love me

Because you know we must
Be apart for now
I don’t mind
Because I
Love
