love

is when it's torn but you try

to glue it together

(glue? // glue won't last)

when you miss the bus

and you walk instead

(you're tired // but your feet will try)

when you give your bread away

and you know you're hungry

(but you haven't had lunch // she just needs a snack)

love

is giving a piece of you

to someone

knowing that they could lose it

or break it

or take it for granted

but it doesn't matter

beacause love

is when you don't think of yourself anymore

.
