Love Without Fear

while i don't have stars in my eyes when i look at you,
i love that i can see clearly.

while i don't get butterflies when i'm around you,
i love that i love you freely.

when i think of the sounds you bring to the world,
i love that i still love silence.

when you read like a poem that's misunderstood
i love that i always find new words you rhyme with...

if i miss the warmth of you when you're gone,
i love that i never feel frozen.

if i look on silver or platinum rings,
i love that our love is golden.

our love is a shadow of love without fear
it borrows a love from which love was made;

if i ever went looking for loves to replace
your love, I'd find my love was misplaced.
