Definition of Love

You hurt me with the things you say 
The words you say with honesty 
Like when you told me 
I was immature for you 
When I was afraid to admit 
I loved you 
But I did not know how 
to express my love for you 
I matured from within my heart 
As you mended the pain of hurt 
The pain of guilt 
The pain of fear 
Eighteen years have passed 
We reaped and sowed with regret 
I cherish the love we had 
You showed me how to feel 
And I know the difference 
Of what love truly means 
It is more than the words 
we choose to say 
For real true love comes from within
