Knowing True Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Defining love through new definitions that you've shown
through your actions, loving, caring, protecting, shar-
ing everything with me selflessly.

Your entire being given to me through an unselfish love,
showing me the true meaning of love as it was meant to
be.

Enjoying it explicitly, wishing we'd met long before this,
knowing now what I've been missing all these years, putting
up with abuse and selfishness.

Never really being loved for who I am, seeing the reality
of lies and illusions, breaking them apart for now I know
true love and what it's meaning truly is.
