lessons learned

"love is the key to happiness" 
plastered on the door of my closet

i am beginning to learn it is 

and what it is not

love is not:
a 2am text
attachment
possession
telling me how to dress
a necklace with your name
lists of friends i can longer talk to
constant communication
lying about where i am
mocking my ambitions
formulaic

love is:
an 8am text
celebrating his achievements
accepting the past
patience
offering advice and support
a walk in the park (literally and metaphorically)
tulips 
bookstores
fighting for causes together
candor

people love in different ways 

but i like ours the best
