Love is Not Just a Word


It is just a word they said.

No one can feel it.

Truly they are wrong.

They have to be.

What am I feeling then?

 

I read many stories.

They all have it in them.

I pass by kids.

If it is just a word,

then how are they here?

 

I see you sitting there.

They would all disagree

But I think that it is real.

Maybe I am wrong, 

But how do I know for sure?

 

Love is just a word they said.

I have to disagree.

It has to be real.

You have taught me that

Love is not just a word.
