Love is listening as much as speaking
Perhaps more
The smoothest tongue never truly applied the salve of understanding
In a way that made the speaker feel comforted or safe.
Love is listening as much as action
Action as a means to an end
Patient listening as a slowly built up form of credit
Love as knowing a person not about or of a person
Love is through shapes and sizes and obstacles and all the colors in the spectrum
Love is following a mood and attention is the destination
Love is listening as both empathy and sympathy
Look into each others eyes
I may judge you but I won't show you that I am doing this
Love can be the act but listening is the test
How deeply can you make her believe you know the meaning of her heart?

I would like to translate this poem
Defining love is difficult, if not impossible- as it is a feeling, but defining it as listening is a good start.
