Love

Love is not always about pretty faces and beautiful souls,

It is about how two damaged souls can make it whole again.

Love is not always about rainbows, snowflakes and sunshine,

It is about who is willing to be through stormy nights with you.

Love is not always about a steamy cup of coffee and breakfast,

It is about a whiskey night, where the one will be holding your hair.

Love is not about celebrating days, gifts and dates,

It is about the one who ll be up at 3 AM to make sure you are alright.

Love is not always about the knight in the shining armour,

It is about who ll be suffering with you in up above a tower.

Love is not always about the sweet whispers, wink or kiss,

It is about who knows how to lend a hand when you are deep in your den.

Love is not about sticking with each other throughout the day,

it is about who'll be there when you would be falling apart in the night.

Love is not always about telling you how flawless you are,

It is about the one who shows you how beautiful your scars are.

So darling, next time you fall in love, mind where are you going,

To a shiny flowery imitation or a solid and endangered path to life.
