Our Acts of Love

The way you hug me
When we say our goodbyes
The way you hold me
When I cry on your shoulder
The way you trust me
With all your deepest, darkest secrets
The way you know
When I am in pain and comfort me
The way you are always there for me
I know that you love me

But there is something you need to know
I love you too
The way I bother you daily
With my pesky text messages
The way I look for you
Whenever I am hurt
The way I always come running back to you
No matter how much you piss me off

You may deny it,
Say that you are “unlovable”
But it’s not true
Maybe I don’t show it enough
With my hugs
Or hurt you too often
With my careless words

When I never mean to

I know I don’t deserve you
But I guess you don’t care
Because with our acts of love
I know you love me
And I love you
