He asked me,
"What is love to you?"
So I said: "Love is a million things"
Love is when you look for reasons
to accept the pain you go through,
Love is when you put your pride aside
and give them a hug that feels warm.
Love is when you're addicted to them
even when they ignore you easily for weeks,
Love is when you accept that they become a
dark cloud over your head and you acknowledge
that it rains on you heavily.
As I am reading what I am writing,
I now ask myself, "Is this what love really is?"
Is love all about dealing with hurt? because to accept pain,
then that means we know how to love, right?

The Sizable Invasion of the Coat Hanger Army
What was supposed to be another quiet and rainy day down here on planet Earth soon turned out to be anything but, for those blouses, jeans, and shirts that were patiently waiting to be put away after their long-drawn-out affair with the heat machine, that their humans insisted upon throwing them in.
