Don't tell me what love is. 
Dedication is needed, sure,
but I'm telling you, baby,
that's not nearly enough. 
I've been in that relationship 
where I was dedicated til the end,
but it did no **** good. 
Don't tell me what love is. 
At the close of the day,
love isn't even enough baby,
I'm sorry to say. 
You can love someone
until you take in
your very last breath
and it'll do nothing
if its just not meant to be. 
Don't tell me what love is. 
Love is patience, right?
Or kindness. 
No.
Wait. 
Love is acceptance. 
Don't tell me what love is. 
Love is the amalgamation 
of all these things
and so very much more. 
I used to worry how you know
when you've found the true thing. 
But don't tell me what love is,
for now, now I know.
This is my interpretation of the difficulty we have with defining love.
