Poems
Jul 2014
You're in love with an idea- not a person
You don't know what it means to love because you aren't looking at Love.
You want what love can give you-
The security
The ignorance
The company-
But you have yet to think about the receiving end.
Love is not what-can-I-get-out-of-this
But
What-can-I-give-to-you.
Love is selfless
Not self-seeking.
Love isn't something that you
feel
.
It's something that you
do
.
Love is standing right in front of us,
Yet we are too blind.
You know that all those "you" and "us" and "we"?
It should really say "I."
L-o-v-e is something that still doesn't make sense to me.
