what is love?
love is feeling at home in a place you hardly know anything about
love is feeling like you've spent years with someone but you only just met them ten minutes ago
love is caring for someone else's child and forcing back the tears when it's time for them to go home
love is never wanting to miss out on a big bear hug from sixty-five dirty children
love is the way they hold tighter to your hand when you say "Nkwagala nyo", or "i love you so much"
he chases me around and around the large tree until i finally give in. as his brown hands wrap around my waist, he looks up at me and whispers in my ear "i've caught you auntie kate, and now you can never leave."
