What Love Is

 What does love look like?

I ask myself 

after wondering what it actually is

because to me

 it's the pressed flowers in the back of my journal

every time I collect one 

I think I'm collecting a bouquet for you

it's the texts I type out but never send

and the notes I desperately want to mail you

but I'm afraid they would get lost 

or you wouldn't open them at all

and it's the way

 you're the first person

I think about in the morning

and you're the only thing

 I can think about to fall asleep

it's how I know I'll always love you

more than you love me

but that's because love isn't tied to a person

or things

love is how much I can give someone

without finally breaking.
