Misunderstood Words

Love.

How simple that word is except it has been misunderstood; illused,

Media portrays it everywehere.

So much so, it's shoved down our throats.

Some say love is forgive and forget; blood runs thicker.

But what about the one who manipulates, anillates, and isolates this thing.

This little thing called love.

L-O-V-E

it puts the L in "love me just as I am,"

the O in "Over and Over please forgive me,"

V in whispered in the "Very unpredictable challenges that come" and E.

E as in"Every day remind me with those sweet tender nothings. "

We wish for the old timey love but instead we now wish,

for the love where we grow old, and it doesn't matter what time makes us look like.

The love where we don't want to get the phone.

The love where we pursue through the tough times.

Where we don't give up after just one fight.

Or we misuse our words.

Kind of like the word love.

I've heard it gets misused a lot.
