"You don’t ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It’s all about survival; it’s all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in."
- Nick Hornby


love
is talking to them
at 3 am
because you want to make sure
they're okay

 

love
is knowing anything can happen
over that ocean
but you take that risk anyway
for them

 

love
is a Skype call with words
said too loud,
so you can hear them over the
noisy room

 

love
is never giving up, even when
it goes wrong
even when things go bad - love is
being there

 

even if not in person

I was digging through my poetry archives and found this one from three months ago. I wrote this for my partner.
