LOVE MEANS

a commitment
mutual love and respect
saying no at times
making small compromises that keep both happy

sharing passions and interests, even if they are new and novel
giving each other room to breathe and have some time for self

celebrating every moment each day
sharing pain
freedom to express love, anger, joy, sorrow
never having to cry into the pillow at night

more smiles than tears
understanding
belief
trust

having a good laugh at everything
including ourselves

saying a goodnight prayer together
planning for tomorrow but living for today.
