What It Means

Love doesn't mean never having to say you're sorry.

It means saying sorry when you should.
It means saying sorry when you don't want to.
It means doing things, small and large.
It means listening and compromise.
It means support and partnership and honesty.

Love is not implicit but explicit.
It must be expressed.
It is defined by action and communication.
Not by silence, assumption, and inference.

Cards and chocolates, flowers and special dinners.
These are ways to say I love you.
To show I love you.
But love is also shown in a hug.
A snuggle.
A kind word.
An attentive ear.
On every day, not just this day.

Love is doing. Not-doing is not love.
