Love Is

Love is patient, kind, forgiving It doesn’t keep track It doesn’t keep points It’s the gentle whisper Calm, reassuring Don’t want to be mad at you Don’t want to hate you Don’t know why others want me to Their words lit a fire They smudged out your light Comforted in what they preached Their poison gnawing at me Everything love is not Your gentle whisper Patient, kind, forgiving Love is
