"LOVE IS"

Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires
while sharing your experiences
with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside of
and together with the growth
of another individual
Love is the source of success


Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future


Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm in the rainbow
Love is the source of passion


Love is
giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other's
needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing


Love is
knowing that the other person
will always be with you
regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security
Love is the source of life
