To Love A Friend
Love is a misconception
Where it first comes into mind–
Romance, sexuality, passion,
Attraction, desire, lust and much more.
–
Love is not only all that.
What about the love you feel
Within family, your siblings, parents
And the friends you trust with your heart?
–
Love is support, love is not weakness
It gives you strength to know
You can't do everything by yourself.
–
Love is strong, love is not soft
You, your family, and friends are connected.
A red string of Fate that can't easily be undone.
–
Love is a friend, not an enemy
To care deeply about someone is a blessing
And superficiality is the adversary.
–
The world will be better off as a home
Where the heart resides
If we give more love like that.
(A/N): I wrote this poem at the beginning of my sophomore year for my Creative Writing's class (and I was tied in first place for the best love poem in the class). Believe it or not, I would've given up on the 'love poem' assignment if it weren't for Sasuke and Hinata. XP Seriously. This poem is actually connected to my Rain on Friendship SasuHina story, so there.
I swear, when I read this to one of my closest friends, he commented 'these words sound a lot like what a Hokage would say; noble and benevolent.' :) I never felt so flattered.
