Loving You

Loving you is

Smiling when you're happy
Crying when you're hurt
Clinging to you when you need me
Staying away when you need you
Listening to your stories
Staring into your eye
Feeding your curiosity

Loving you is
Seeing your tears behind your smiles
Seeing your wound behind your jokes
Seeing your fear behind your stares
Seeing your anger behind your frowns
Seeing you behind it all

Loving you is
Filling my heart with
Faith, Hope & Trust
Nurturing my heart to be
Stronger, Calmer & Warmer
Getting my mind to be
Wiser, Faster & Brighter
Learning to be
Better, Healthier & Kinder

Loving you is
Missing your presence
Missing your footsteps
Missing your laughter
Missing your jokes
Missing your voice
Missing you

Loving you is
Staying away
Staying quiet
Staying still
Staying here

Loving you is
A strength
A weakness
A bliss
An addiction

Loving you is
Loving me too
Loving all the ugly sides
Loving all the pretty ones
Loving all your being
Loving all my being

That is what loving you means to me
