What Is Love To Me

I don’t know much about it 
So I can’t give you any facts
All I know is what I see in my dreams
And how I portray it to be
I close my eyes and this is what I see:
Something so real, and unconditional
I see smiles and pure understanding
No judgment, just honesty and care
Two people knowing that the other is always there
Through good and bad, ups and downs
It’s a great feeling knowing you always have a friend around
Just sitting and watching movies, playing around like teenagers,
To handling business and having deep conversations
It’s not always perfect; some arguing is in there too
Still at the end of the day, they stick together like glue
He looks at her, taking in her beauty,
She looks back at him, thinking she’s blessed truly
They share something magical and hard to find
Something that will last until the end of time
It’s crazy how these things come about
Having someone who can see your beauty inside and out
Someone who embraces you, flaws and all
Someone you know, no matter what, won’t let you fall
Someone who is there when you need them and when you don’t
It’s not about how much money either of them has
It’s about time, communication, trust, and letting the past be the past
It’s about building a future, growing with one another
Learning new things about each other
They are fascinated by how much they fall more and more each day
This is the way I imagine love, 
Something so true and divine,
I just smile so wide, because in my heart I know, 
One day I will have that dream, with my eyes open, not closed.
