All Mine To Love

I was broken.
I know, shocker right?
Me, of all people, with my heart in a million pieces.
Let me tell you, it’s happened more than once.
And it hurts,
A lot.
I swore off love and affection completely at one point.
Then he happened.
As soon as I saw him I knew
I was
Completely
And utterly
screwed.
I was right.
And he can never know this,
But,
He taught me how to love again.
Both others,
And myself.
And not only did he teach me to love,
But he also has shown me what real love looks like.
It’s not yelling,
Or screaming,
Or hitting,
Or really any kind of aggression.
Real, genuine, raw love,
Is texts at odd hours of the night talking about the future and how scary life is.
It’s tight hugs where I have to stand on my tip toes.
And soft words whispered in my ears and light forehead kisses.
And I can’t help but think constantly,
That,
I love him.
Because he is
All mine
To love.
