What is Love?


Love is something Can not be anything Somebody being special to someone But it cannot belong to just anyone Does it lead to the highest peak of the mountain? Or To the deepest part of the grounded fountain? Does it cause lasting pain? Or Does it cause lasting happiness? Is it not different than lust? Or is it? Does it form lasting rust? When our loved ones are hurt They cry and weep Our heart cries out Not ordinary tears Tears of guilt If we can’t help our loved ones We are willing to loose Everything Our dreams, our hearts Even our lives Just for the sake of our loved ones That one smile to appear on the lips Of our loved ones This love is what You can’t understand Till you Fall in it Fade in its world And then you know what it is It does give you pain Sometimes lasting rust But also gives what’s called Humanity Sympathy Relationship Care No person in this world Can exist without it Whether it’s parental love Siblings love Friends love Relationships love Love is simply pure Of all the dirt Of all the selfishness Of all the cruelty It’s like a melody Which goes on and on And leaves behind What becomes our Life It may take a lifetime to recognize Love Or it may take One moment to realize it It may take one’s life So open your eyes Look for your love Let them know the intensity Of your love and feelings for them Before you loose it And then could do nothing Except regret
