MEANING OF LOVE

YOU GRASP IT'S GENUINE WHEN IT'S HARD TO OBTAIN,

A FEELING SO REAL YOU CAN'T HELP BUT WANT TO SEE THEM  AGAIN.

MAKING FAIRY TALES COMPLETELY UNDESIRED,

FOR YOU HAVE A BOND THAT IS MORE THAN ADMIRED.

IT'S THE GENTLE HAND THAT CARESSES YOU AND GIVES YOU LIGHT,

AND A SWEET PASSIONATE KISS THAT LULLS YOU TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.

AN EAR THAT IS ALWAYS LISTENING,

WITH EYES THAT SEE YOUR BEAUTY THROUGH ALL YOUR WRINKLING.

IT'S THE FEELING OF KNOWING FEAR CAN NEVER CLAIM YOU,

AS WELL AS THE CONFIDENCE, STRENGTH AND PRIDE IN HEARING THE WORDS I LOVE YOU.

THOSE THREE WORDS AREN'T FOR DECORATION,

THOSE THREE WORDS AREN'T MEANT TO BE APPROACHED WITH CAUTION.

BUT SADLY IT'S LOST IT'S MEANING,

MAKING SUCH A POWERFUL PHRASE SO DEMEANING.

FOR LOVE IS LIFE AND DEATH,

AND SO MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN METH.

IT'S THE REASON WE ARE ALIVE,

AND WHAT MAKES US WANT TO STRIVE.

SO THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR THE WORDS THAT COULD CHANGE A PERSON'S LIFE,

BE SURE THAT IT'S NOT SIMPLY SO YOU CAN STAB THEM IN THE BACK WITH A KNIFE.
