What Is Love?



When we claim that it's love

that we have for someone,

are we correct?


Something to ponder upon.....


Are your palms sweaty,

is your heart racing and

is your voice caught within your chest?


It isn't love, it's LIKE


You can't keep your eyes or hands

off them, am i right?


It isn't love, it's LUST


Are you proud and eager

to show them off?


It isn't love, it's LUCK


Do you want them because you know they're there?


It isn't love, it's LONELINESS


Are you there because it's what everyone wants?


It isn't love, it's LOYALTY


Are you there because they

kissed you, or held your hand?


It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE


Do you stay for their confessions

of love, because you don't

want to hurt them?


It isn't love, it's PITY


Do you belong to them because

their sight makes your heart

skip a beat?


It isn't love, it's INFATUATION


Do you pardon their faults

because you care about them?


It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP


Do you tell them every day

they are the only one you think of?


It isn't love, it's a LIE


Are you willing to give all of your favorite thing for their sake?

It isn't love, it's CHARITY


************** LOVE **************


Does your heart ache and break

when they're sad?


then it's LOVE


Do you cry for their pain, even

when they're strong?


then it's LOVE


Do their eyes see your true heart,

and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?


then it's LOVE


Do you stay because a blinding,

incomprehensible mix of pain

and relation pulls you close

and holds you there?


then it's LOVE


Do you accept their faults

because they're a part of who they are?


then it's LOVE


Are you attracted to others, but stay

with them faithfully without regret?


then it's LOVE


Would you allow them to leave you

not because they want to

but because they have to?


then it's LOVE


Would you give them you're heart,

your life, your death?


then it's LOVE


**************** ? ****************

Now, if love is painful,

and tortures us so,

why do we love?


Why is it all we search for in life?


This pain, this agony?


Why is it all we long for?


This torture, this powerful death of self


************ why? *************


The answer is so simple cause it's...


LOVE.


"It is such an addiction that even people who don't have love,

wish to experience it and share it!"
