love is not possessive
love does not invalidate emotions
love nurtures
love sees
listens
touches gently
and holds firmly when guided to
love is the comfort of the
new-borns swaddle
the softness
of a rose petal in bloom
love is living in clouds
while firmly planted on the ground
love
is being
heard.
being bold,
being yourself
love is home
within yourself
around you
of you
You.
