Genuine Love

Genuine love isn't trinkets and baubles.
It isn't periodic visits, 
 or a quick hello. 

It isn't a distant voice calling from afar. 
It isn't hearing about you second hand. 
It isn't a brief encounter. 

Genuine love is real, 
 it is knowing the one's you hold dear are there for you. 

It is an art perfected over time. 
It is a gift your give from your soul. 
It is being there to give her a warm embrace 
 when the world is judging. 
It is the way you hold her
 that let's her know that she is in your heart.
It is understaning when other's refuse to listen.

Genuine love is not letting others rule how you feel
 so that it keeps you from knowing the love she's trying to give.
