Love is?
Knowing they mean it when they say “i love you” just by the way they look at you like you’re the most amazing thing that has ever been on this planet. ?
Love is?
Saying you’re going to sleep and then cuddling up against his chest, even though you’re not tired and all you want is to listen to his heart beat. ?Love is?
Being able to be completely yourself around him and not worry about being judged or not liked because of who you really are. ?
Love is?
Giving up a piece of yourself that you didn’t even know that you had to give.?Love is?
Being able to call him your best friend and being able to call him something more with no complications or problems. ?
Love is?
Being completely happy and feeling safe around him and being yourself. ?Love is?
Willing to give absolutely everything you have to him, even when you know there’s a chance he’ll take it all and leave. ?
Love is?
When you think about losing them and life without them and you can feel your heart start to break. ?
Love is?
Being so scared that you start to push away without realizing it. And then feeling guilty and like absolute s*** for doing that to him. ?

Being able to have days where you do nothing but cuddle and watch movies and he doesn’t complain at all. ?
Love is?
Learning things that he loves to do, listening to the music he loves. ?
Love is?
Going to your first concert with him and seeing the pure joy in his face when a song he loves plays, and he doesn’t even realize you’re looking at him. ?
Love is ?
Having the “I love you more” fights at least five times a day. Always ending in agreeing to disagreeing. ?
Love is?
Feeling empty the second he leaves from your hold and then your sight, because you never know if it’s the last time you’ll see him. ?
Love is?
Taking the risk of loving him even though every experience with love that you’ve ever had has left you empty and shattered. ?
Love is?
Finally finding something you can put your faith in. ?
Love is?
Finding home.

This is a poem I wrote about my boyfriend. I haven't written in a while so it's not the best. But he and some friends said they loved it and I wanted opinions from strangers.
