This ain't love
I thought love was butterflies in the stomach
Heart palpitations in the chest
Calling you every night
And us having great sex.
I thought love was just emotions and maybe more-
Touches, hugs and kisses
Nights of longing for my name to change from Ms to Mrs.
But I was wrong.
Love is painful
Love is like giving birth
Then after the contractions
Looking into a rainbow
Leaving you in awe and wonder of your creation.
I didn't know the meaning of sacrifice
Until I had to die to myself so that you can live
I didn't know that physical pleasure was temporary
But lifting you up during hard times was forever
Love scraped my heart
It folded my soul
It killed my ambition for an artificial high
And it gave me the desire for a stronger soul tie.
Love killed my dreams for a perfect ending
And gave me the endurance for a perfect journey
It matured me in a different way
It gave me words that weren't good enough to say
But to demonstrate through action.
Love gave me traction to keep from slipping when I wanted to
Lust could never do that
Lust was too weak to make that strong of a pact.
Love kept me from leaving.
Love is being strong when you feel like breaking
Love does with intention and never mistaking
Love does because it has a code of honor
Love is eternal; if can, it'll go longer.
This type of force
just can't have one basic reference
If it can be named anything
Why not Divine Reverence
