Love is…

Learning. Learning what make her smile and what makes her frown. Learning that she hates flowers but loves chocolate covered strawberries. Learning which way she combs her hair or which brand of makeup she loves to wear. Learning the rhythm of her heart for that’s the base of her symphony. Learning to love the prickles from her unshaven leg in winter.

Obeying. Obeying the rules she creates for her body because that’s the first temple she ever owned. Obeying her opinions about herself but helping her to see the masterpiece laid before your eyes. Obey her demand for time because time is the way to complete her hearts fairy tale. Obey her need for space because running is all she knows.

Validation. Validating your love for her by opening up your heart to her. Validating your desire for her heart by handwriting letters with hearts and bears just to show her how much you truly care. Validating her safety by always being her protector and showing that her secrets are safe with you.

Enjoy. Enjoy the walk in the park and the five minute hugs. Enjoying the sound of her voice when she says I love you. Enjoying the smell of her and the feel of her skin. Enjoying the appearance of dimples on her tiny chin. Enjoying the feel of her hands wrapped in yours. Enjoying the feel of her heart loving yours.
