I used to think that love should be seen in every line and stanza
That it should be as poetic as possible
I used to think that it is the overpowering emotion of boldness as it enables
I used to be drowned in the intoxicating bragging brands of how it should be
Not until you step in shallows to swim so bravely in deep
It is when you'll realize that yes it is, and it is as valid as every different forms you may think
In fact, it may be as plainest as you nimble evey bit
It is also as calm as the ocean quiets and blue waters still
It is every shape and way to showcase sacrificing
It is the song that plays and the silence as last line ends
It is the pleasure as skins touching and the desire to embrace all imperfects
It is the joy of waking together and the promise 'til the sunset
It is the acquired new interests and the compromise you both oath to live with
It is the strong stand of choices and the gentleness in the coming years to keep
It is when you know the butterflies inside start to fly away
And yet, every time you look in the eyes it is as beautiful as it started
It is the warmth you received in rainy days and the same breeze you give as the sun thirsts
It is the every losing fight in TV channels and commercial breaks and who to deal with the dishes
It is in asking how your day went or how do you like your egg
It is in respect of equal rights and the trust even with the receipts
It is the assurance in times of doubt and the things to be dealt before bed
It is the progressing cooking skills after years of training
It is memorising the usuals at the unspoken agreements
It is in listening and the acceptance, no wonder why it is easy to tell what is in the heart
It is in small massages and pain killer patches, the lunch boxes and the sweet notes clipped on top
More than perfect coffee blend but the taste bud adjustments and the compliments
It is in every speechless occasions and we both know the meaning of that
I used to think that I know these things too well that I am able to recognize but then
It is the choice to learn, to adjust and to keep working together and live with this choice whatever.
