Love

What is it?

This thing everyone longs to have,

Whether they'll admit it or not,

Why it's true love my dear!

But what is true love?

Will I know when I have it?

Will I not ask questions like this when I do?

Is it true love? How will I know?

And how much truth- is really in love?

Love isn't something you can buy,

Nor is it something you can force,

Yet how do you know when you really love someone?

What is love?

Everyone will say something different,

"It's a ring!" "It's a hug!" "It's a kiss!"

It is love.

But that can't be right,

All I know for sure is that love is a commitment.

Love cannot be summed up in one word.

Nor in a sentence,

Or a book,

Or even this poem.

There is love,

Between a family,

Between two lovers,

Even between just friends.

Love is a feeling all its own.

Just the word "Love" makes people think differently.

Do I have love?

Is it something I can give or take away?

True love is not always easy.
