Literary (Submission): The Definition of Love
I thought I understood what love meant
Love was the long walks when you would take my hand
Love was romantic dinners with endless conversations
Love was the way you always looked at me
But love was also the day you decided
to make your own definition
It was no longer a phone call away
or go-to buddy for lunch
I forgot about love
thinking it would never creep back
But slowly, love started
to crawl back into my life
Love is realizing the beauty of walking alone
Love is space you give yourself to grow
Love is not needing your arms
because I know I have my own
I never really bother to read Merriam-Webster
but I think I finally understand
the meaning of love
