Love is

Love is caring without reason,
Loving without care,
Living with reckless abandon,
Never leaving, always there.

Love is loving unconditionally,
Giving just because,
Wanting to make them happy,
Devotion without pause.

Love is loyalty to a fault,
Adoration without end,
Worshiping the ground they walk on,
Being their best friend.

Love is not leaving when you get hurt,
Understanding when they cry,
Rendering hugs when needed,
Always willing to try.

Love is giving them your heart,
Being so afraid.
Love makes it all worthwhile,
And your heart go on parade.

Love is never giving up,
Even when they do,
Showing them their meaningful,
Listening to what you already knew.

Love is in the little things,
Small gestures of thought,
Large surprises unprovoked,
Forgiving battles fought.

Love is not wanting to let go,
And doing it anyway.
Missing them so much,
Dealing with it everyday.

Love knows no boundaries,
Crosses every line,
Pay no heed to wisdom,
Lets you believe life will be fine.

Love is painful,
It hurts sometimes,
But you love to love love,
It gets you through the hard times.

I like this, the third stanza especially. There were some typos and misspells here and there, so clean this up, and then my real criticism is that you have a couple extra syllables here and there. The rhythm just gets thrown off every now and then, so be careful about that. I also wasn't too keen on the ending. All the same, in general, I thought this was sweet.
