Te amo.
Je t'aime.

So many ways to say,
I love you.

Maybe you don't say I love you that much,
Maybe it's rare for you.
Maybe I say it so much,

Some of us know exactly what it is.
And that's all okay.

I think love is a variety of things.
Whether it's a smile at a stranger,
A compliment received,
The warm embrace of a mother,
Or the hand hold from a best friend.
___
I may say I love you so many times,
But believe me when I tell you,
That it scares me to do so.
____
I've fallen in love,
Only to have him on the phone,
Me asking,
"Do you still love me?"
"Don't make me do this..."
"Do you?"
"I don't love you anymore."
____
I've had a best friend who called me a sister,
Told me she loved me,
And that she would never leave.

Only to have them stab a knife in my back.

I am scared to love.
And if I tell you I love you,
Know that it is my biggest fear to say it to you,
In fear that you might one day leave.

Because Love is fear.
To love and to be loved,
Is all a fear.
____
And love is a variety of things,
A smile at a stranger,
A mothers warm embrace,
The hand hold of a best friend,
Or a lost one.
____
We can love people,
Even if they don't love us back.
Because if they don't love us,
At least they have someone to love them.
It's best to give,
And not receive.
_____
But we all receive love,
If we know it or not.
Because that stranger that smiles at you,
They love you,
Or a lady in walmart who tells you that you have pretty eyes,
She loves you.
Or your best friend who lets you break down in front of you,
He loves you.
Whether it's yourself or someone else. You are loved.

Love is a variety of things,
Beautiful
And Ugly.
