Believe in Love

Believe in love

The kind that will wake you up every morning

And tell you “You’re worth it”

Because it means he paid a price to be where he was

Right there beside you

Because you’re worth something

Maybe not someone’s everything

But

You are surely worth that 3-minute phone call everyday

Or those two minutes for every 5 hours

Or those 30 seconds of each hour

Just to find out how you are

You’re  worth those 10 steps of agony he walked towards your front door

Or that 6-hour tiresome bus-ride

Or those ten thousand miles across the oceans

Just to be with you

You’re worth those 5 more years of bachelorhood he had to cut short

Or those 265 Friday night he won’t be showing up at the bar

Or those lazy Saturday plans he had to give up to help you with the laundry

For. The. Rest. Of. His. Life.

You’re worth every book he had to close every night

Every fight he needs to concede from

And every ounce of pride he needs to swallow

And maybe, you will need to wait a little longer

Or maybe, each one who’ll come along will tell you

your expectations are absurd

And maybe at one point you will believe them

But believe otherwise

Because  this I know:

"There many mediocre things in life to deal with 

and love should not be one of them."

Believe in love

The kind that will wake you up in the morning and tell you

“You’re worth it”

But also, hold on to it

enough

for you to say

“No, YOU are worth it!”
