And only the best parts of myself regenerate

That's love 

 

When you see my demons and the contours of my shame 

And still think I am brave 

That's love 

 

When you lend me money even though you can't afford it

And I don't have enough to pay you back

That's love 

 

When I turn to sand in your arms

And you sculpt me back into glass

That's love 

 

When I cry and tell you I'm weak

And you tell me I am strong because I can produce tears instead of anger 

That's love 

 

When you look into my eyes and see oceans of beauty that transcend my surface 

That's love

 

When the florets of my heart flush with the color of your compassion

That's love 

 

When it is my word against the corroboration of others 

And you still believe mine 

That's love 

 

When a goddess of igneous beauty 

Seduces you towards her inferno, and you deny her 

That's love  

 

When I traverse with you through infinite forms of life 

And we become eternal and shapeless

That's true love
