We all know what love is
We all felt it, saw it, expressed it
Love is ancient and everlasting
We have seen movies, drawings, and shows
Read books, poetry, and letters
All conveying and depicting the emotion
We have loved our families and friends
Loved even strangers who shared a passion
Causes and ideologies that we admired
Compassionate and care towards life
Loving even parts of our own selves
We can recognize all of love's forms
From its beauty to its bitterness
From birth to present
We continued to love
Yet the moment you entered my life
It was at that point of time
Did I truly understand
What love is
