L'amour fou.

As a tear rolled down her cheek and landed on her lips 

he reached up and wiped it away with his gentle fingertip. 

Her face was red from crying, 

he held her so tight with everything 

he had didn’t let her go until she was no longer sad. 

Listened to every word she said 

and showed her that he cared 

and told her that he loved her 

and let her know that he’d be there. 

Listened to her heartbeat, 

and smiled as he hugged her 

and he did all of these things because he truly loved her.
