What Love Is

Love is not about
champagne and flowers.
It's not about poetry
or trysting for hours.
Love is about the time
you held my hair when I was sick
about helping with the dishes
and saying my middle's not too thick.
It's about listening to me when I ramble
on and on about my day
when your buddies call for you
but it's with me you want to stay.
Love is about rooting for me
when in my own worth I doubt.
Love is about seeing with your heart,
that's what love is all about.
