You are standing here telling me
how you still feel.
It was not too long ago
you let me go.
I moved on, but I miss
how you made me feel
invincible.
The summer nights,
just you and me.
Oh, you made me feel so free.
I miss the memories.
I miss your hands in mine,
your smile, your eyes.
If I told you I didn't love you
it would be lies.
I have to hold myself back,
tell myself no.
It's wrong.
But oh so right.

You tell me you love me
Do you really?
It's so hard to tell
Sometimes
But maybe
If you could prove it
I might just believe you

What is love?
Where do you find it?
How do you define it?
Is it spiritual?
Is it mystical?
Or something physical
Maybe it's fictional

What is love?
Is it a feeling?
Or a state of mind?
Something appealing
Or something blind
It all depends on the naked eye
Many are hurt
And call it a lie
“I Love You”
People use those words to much
And pretty soon their meaning will die

What is love?
Kids fall in love,
But honestly they don’t
And when it comes time to confront
The reality of things they don’t accept
Their lives will become a battlefront
And when they’re rid of the butterflies
Left in rags
And the lady cries
The boy will hold up the white flag
Lonely, cold and done
Soon their love will all be gone

What is love?
In reality love is non-existent
Idiotic, pointless and a killer
Just to end up a horror story and a thriller…

Love
What does it mean to you?
Is it just a word
Is it a feeling
Is it an action
What is it to you
What does it mean to you?
I say love is a sacrifice
A sacrifice with the deepest of emotion
A sacrifice is to surrender or give up, or permit injury
A disadvantage to, for the sake of something else.
To make this sacrifice we must be more than willing to
Give up all that is you and to surrender all of your defenses
To make yourself  vulnerable to the person that we love
Love is not a feeling
It is an effort put forward someone else to put ahead another
To place someone else ahead of you
No matter what
True love is to allow your own heart to be broken
All in the sake of protecting the heart of the one we love
Think about it
Once you let me love you
You will have my love forever
I will always make that sacrifice for you.
Because I love you.

I want to love
But I don't know how
Is it a feeling
Is it a smell
Will I find it through a bottle
Or maybe a puff
I look for it
I can't contain this lust
