Love

What is love?

x

Love is letting her ride on your back even when your dorsal fin is aching and you wanna pass out.

Love is spending three weeks practicing braiding that dumb mermaid's hair so you can help her with hers.

Love is sitting on a stool, listening, feeling the emotion she pushes into each key, watching her serenity as the music absorbs her. It's swallowing an apple whole and trying not to cry as the stem cuts your throat because all you want is to see her smile.

It's sitting in hell watching the world through bars, knowing it's all okay, because she's happy.
