LOVE

Love isn't hearts

Love isn't cupid

Love isn't smart

Love isn't stupid

Love isn't a girl or guy

Love isn't a thing

Love isn't an object to buy

Love isn't a ring

 

These are just symbols of love that the world throws at you to make you believe in it the way they do. So what is love really?

 

Love is sacrifice, commitment, and trust.

Love is love, not lust.

like a wave in the ocean

Love is an action rooted by an emotion.

Love gives before it takes

Love makes many mistakes

but love always forgives

because part of you lives

in love and love lives in you

which is why one flesh comes from two.

Love will be there for you, when you're not there for it

Love won't say a word but will hold you and sit

silently taking away some of your pain

even though from it love has nothing to gain.

If you want love to love you then you need to love love

because that's what true love is made of.
