LOVE IS NOT JUST A WORD
<p>LOVE IS NOT JUST A WORD</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Hmmm....</p><p>Love.....</p><p>4 words, but it opens up a whole world entirely.</p><p>Everyone,anyone can say "I LOVE YOU". But. Very few can show up at 2am listening without fixing , listening without judging, listening without complaining, remembering small details. And very few can understand or want to understand. Some don't need to understand,they just know wat to say or do.</p><p><br/></p><p>Love = sacrifice;not grand gestures.</p><p>The quiet stuff.</p><p>Giving up the last piece of chicken.</p><p>Holding someone's hand through chemo.</p><p>Being available even when not really needed.</p><p><br/></p><p>The mistake we all make is : Word is a noun, love is what you do when nobody's clapping. Love is showing up , listening, supporting silently. You don't show love to get a reward, NO , you show love because it's meant to be natural,you show love because it's meant to be a beautiful thing, YES ,it's never enough,nor perfect.</p><p>It's meant to be defined in many ways.</p><p>Time, comfort,pride, forgiveness; it costs you nothing.</p><p>It probably just a word.</p><p><br/></p><p>"Be Intentional with your words/actions".</p><p>Every little thing has it's consequence; either good or bad. Nothing comes natural;it has its source or reason.</p><p><br/></p><p>"I LOVE YOU" is three words,8 letters;you can type in 2 seconds,easy to type, easy to pen down,easy to say like it's nothing. But HARD to live.</p><p>Words are cheap.</p><p>Promises are free.</p><p>But love has a price tag.</p><p>Love shows up at my door in sad, quiet evenings,In my hospital room,in traffic jams,in silence when words fail.</p><p>There is huge difference between saying it and proving it.</p><p>"So don't just say it. Be it"; because love is not just a word you know. It's a decision,you make everyday. You can whisper it in the dark and mean nothing at all.</p><p>Because love is not just a word.</p><p>It's a dry jacket.</p><p>Dorcas and her dad fought every morning.</p><p>He nagged about her clothes. She rolled her eyes at his lectures.</p><p>Words passed through between them like rain;loud,cold and quickly forgotten.</p><p>Then one evening,the sky opened.</p><p>She was stranded after lectures.</p><p>No money. No umbrella. Phone dead.</p><p>She was bracing herself for the walk home , shoulders hunched against the rain,when a car stopped.</p><p>Her Dad </p><p>He didn't say "l love you"</p><p>He didn't give a speech </p><p>He simply just said "get in"_ and handed her his jacket.</p><p>He drove home soaked. She sat beside him dry.</p><p>That night Dorcas understood.</p><p>Love doesn't live in your mouth. It lives in your hands,your time,your patience.</p><p>Love isn't just a word we use without value.</p><p>It lives in wet shirts.</p><p>In plastic hospital chairs.</p><p>In "get in" .</p><p>When you expected "I told you so" .</p><p><br/></p><p>Anyone can spell L-O-V-E.</p><p>Few meant it.</p><p>Few can live it when it's inconvenient.</p><p>Few is intentional with that word LOVE.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>"If love was just a word , dictionaries would be <a class="tc-blue" href="https://enough.But" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">enough.But </a> hearts need proof".</p>
