I think that Love is complicated and so I've decided to make a list of what i think love is:
I think Love is:
*Counting down and still getting excited for them to get off work.
*Offering a helping hand, knowing that they won't need it... &... saying you don't need it because you know they don't want to help.
*Support them like a good bra and telling them when they're headed towards the ground.
*Being the big spoon... and... not flinching when your 'big spoon' leg gets flatulated on.
*Getting angry when I don't say "I love you" first before hanging up the phone.
*Being able to honestly tell the person what you think about them and their outfit... &...being able to take it.
*Being able to sit in a room for minutes or hours, not saying a word but feeling the need for that person to be there.
*Speaking highly of the other person to others-- even when they're not around.
*Glowing with happiness that radiates the love for the other person.
*Lancing a newly discovered back pimple that's been growing for an unknown amount of time... &... finding it secretly satisfying.
*Wanting to hug the person just because they are there.
*Being able to drive 1/2 way across the USA--twice-- spending 16+ hours in a car, 3 ft away from each other, talking about and listening to nonsense... still holding hands along the way and falling asleep in each other's arms.
*Giving up your own wants and needs for the other person's-- and not complaining about it.
*Being the cheerleader of their life.
*Realizing you drunk texted the night before and finding out it was to them.
*Getting offended when they use the terms 'I' or 'Mine' instead of 'we' or 'our'.
*Being attracted to the person just as much as you were the first time you saw them.
*Sacrificing your career for them.
*Moving to another country for them.
*Kissing them despite the ingested cup of coffee and garlic flavored onion they just ate (unknowingly of course)...& telling them they should probably brush their teeth...& being able to take it.
Basically Love is a lot of give and take. I look forward to giving and taking in my upcoming marriage! :)
