To Love and Feel Loved

To love someone is to give them the strength to chase their dreams
To love someone is to care for how they're feeling behind the mask they show to the world
To love someone is to wish them a life of joy and fulfillment
To love someone is to be a safe space for them, should they come to you
To love someone is to extend a hand to catch them when they fall

To feel loved is to relax in the comfort of their arms
To feel loved is to realize that all the thoughts you excitedly and nervously share are met with support
To feel loved is to look into their eyes and meet their warmth
To feel loved is to have the strength to face the chaos of the world
To feel loved is to remember that for all the love you give, you're getting it back
