END
They say love shouldn't involve lust
but I think it just depends on your state of mind
because I used to look at him
and think of all my sexual needs
but now
as he lays beside me in bed
with our second child being craddled in my
arms
I know
that this love
we made
is stronger
than any form of destruction out there
and I love him
not for the sex
not for the money
not for the attention.
I love him because we were both broken
souls
who helped fixed each other back up
and that's what
love is.
It's not the pleasure of sex,
it's the warmth of their touch.
