The Meaning of Love


What is love?

Is it being there for each other?

Is it going against all odds to be together?

Is it physical attraction? Or spiritual attraction?

Is it destined or earned? Through fate or hard work?

 

Love should be tied with support

With lovers building each other up

With lovers accepting each other's differences

With lovers providing aid when needed

Love should be earned by overcoming hardships

With lovers settling things with small disputes

With lovers giving each other space when life is busy

With lovers providing silent reassurance

 

What started their story shouldn't matter

What matters is how they feel

It won't be filled with excitement

It won't be all fun and adventures

There will be insecurities

There will be anger and misunderstandings

But once these challenges are overcome

Their bond will be stronger than ever

 

There is no concrete definition of love

Each person has their own beliefs

But there should be general do's and don't's

And there should be respect among lovers

 

It'll start off as exciting

But it won't always be bright and cheery

Just know that just because the sparks are gone

Doesn't mean love is gone
