What is love?

I used to think love was one big act

a grand finale like in fairy tales

with happily ever afters granted when evil is overcome

slaying dragons and clearing a curse with true loves kiss

and I tried to find that in real life

I offered out my love in ways bigger than I knew they were

maybe to please others, maybe because I wasn't sure what it really was

I could say that I met someone who changed that

who could be my own fairy tale in some way

but I would still be playing around in these make believe stories

I watched my relationships crumble away

I've seen my lovers fly away like a bird let out of its cage

and came to know that my love itself wasn't a good enough base

there is only so much you can do with a problem like this

so I began to learn what love truly is

it isn't the happy end to a story

it's the whole story itself.

you find love in the little things
