I used to judge love
By the words I was told.
But people deceive with their tongues.
I tried to judge love
By the way I was treated.
But people deceive with their actions as well.
So how should one judge love?
It's simple: you don't.
You just love with all your heart, mind, body and soul.
You hold on for the ride,
And hope against all hope
*That this time will be different.
P.S. It wasn't.
