I don’t know what love is

I was fed enough as a kid

As I grew, it became more about survival

Only myself behind locks and closed doors

Love at that time was full of conditions

My axis shifted when I fell for you

Love like honey

Sweet on your tongue and sticky on our lips

Love like a flower

Soft to the touch and delicate

Love like glass

Protective, sharp, and transparent

Love like sunshine

Radiant and warms the soul

A love so good, so pure, I don’t know I deserve it

I don’t know what love is

But you’re teaching me everyday

That this is love
