Love Is Being There
love
is talking to them
at 3 am
because you want to make sure
they're okay
love
is knowing anything can happen
over that ocean
but you take that risk anyway
for them
love
is a Skype call with words
said too loud,
so you can hear them over the
noisy room
love
is never giving up, even when
it goes wrong
even when things go bad - love is
being there
even if not in person
