erin maher - Love is

Love is when you've waited,
for all of what seems so long.
Even when he's holding another,
you still know that you belong.

Love is when you hold your ground,
when he's not by your side.
You love him and see him for him,
even though he lied.

Love is when your still yourself,
while speaking your mind to him.
And when you split you still know,
he'll be back again.

Love is when your closer,
to family and friends.
When he has made you stronger,
and gave you the cure to mend.

Love is when you give him space,
and give him room to breathe.
When he looks to you knowing,
that you're the one who believes.

Love is when you mean so much,
and try your best to make him see.
When you take the pain of being put down,
and you are still happy.

Love is when he comes back to you,
realizing he was wrong.
When he holds you and lets you know,
that you're where he belongs.
