When I see Love

when I see love 
It’s the look they share across the room. 
It’s that moment when their hands brush and they try to hide the smiles that spread across their faces. 
It’s when the other walks into the room and your face lights up just because they are there. 
You can see the love in their eyes when they look at you across the airport. 
Love is shown in how another person hugs you and makes you feel right at home. 
It’s that way they look at you when they think you aren’t looking. 
The way they are excited to come home to you. 
It’s in the way that you hold hands when walking down the street. 
It’s in the way that when you’re together all day you still miss them when they leave at the end. 
It’s in the way that they smile when looking at your face in the morning light. 
How they hold your hair back as you get sick, 
or buy you medicine at the store when you can barely move.
 It’s in the way that they protect you from those that hurt you. 
Love is found when they hold you enclosed within a blanket watching the sunset. 
It’s found as you walk through a haunted maze and they squeeze your hand reassuringly while laughing at you. 
Love is found when they watch a movie with you that will make you cry and wipe away those tears. 
It’s found in the way they wake you up in the morning, 
the way they say your name. 
It’s found in the witty banter in front of strangers. 
It is found in how they gently move your hair out of your face before kissing your forehead. 
Found when you both laugh at nothing at all, and yet feel closer for it. 
It’s in the way they show up to the hospital out of breath because they were worried. 
Love is found in the way they describe you to others while comparing you to the best and worst things in their lives. 
Love is more than just one single action or feeling. 
It’s the accumulation of those actions and feelings 
that sometimes in the most amazing cases has the result of marriage
