How To Love Better
In the twilight of tender moments,
Take the long way home, where the heart can roam,
Through the winding paths of love's vast plains,
Where every glance and touch sustains.
Observe their morning rise with gentle awe,
The way they stretch, the dreams they draw,
And in their laughter, soft and bright,
See the echoes of your own delight.
Know the dance of self and other,
When to be a lover, when to be a brother.
In the mundane, find the stars that gleam,
For love is hidden in the smallest seam.
Ask them to text when they arrive,
A whisper of care, a sign you're alive,
In the folds of their day, be curious, be kind,
Let their world be a place you're eager to find.
Take time apart to grow, to breathe,
But on the couch, make room, don't seethe.
Accept you can't know all that's best,
Let love guide, and give the rest.
Set your boundaries, firm yet kind,
Gratitude expressed, a peace of mind.
Practice trust, though fear may rise,
For in those moments, love truly flies.
Keep your feet upon the earth,
Admit your flaws, let forgiveness birth.
Throw away the score you tally,
In love's game, it's heart that rallies.
Kiss with fervor, questions more,
Accept the merge that paths can bore,
But fight the fights that matter most,
And let the trivial like shadows coast.
Hold the door, hold their hand,
In your arms let their fears disband.
Notice the gold in their eyes so fair,
And tell them often how much you care.
Dance where the floor is cold and bare,
In the kitchen, let joy flare.
Play like children in the aisles of life,
For in those moments, you shed the strife.
Know the luck in every glance,
Don't be hasty, savour the dance.
Point out dangers, offer your arm,
Give your heart, let love disarm.
Know when to hold on, when to release,
For in that knowing, love finds peace.
Offer your world with gentle grace,
And let love's rhythm find its place.
