What is love?

Wanting what’s best

Growing with them

Choosing to stay

Even when the butterflies fade

It’s not all sunshine like in the shows

There are darker moments to

Working together despite it all

Not always holding hands

Or hugging tight

Just being there all of life

The kind of love that I can’t have

But still I hope

Because you are there

Not as a partner

But as a friend

I can’t have all but I can have that

Unreturned beating in my chest

You probably want me to move on

But how can I stop a force so strong

I know how I feel

And I know it’s true

I really do love you
