The Meaning Of Love

The Meaning Of Love

 

 

You ask me why I love you, you ask me how I can.  I can only say that you are the light that carries my through the darkness.

 

 

You ask me how I can see the good in you, when everyone else says there's only bad.  I can only say that it shines through your skin.

 

You ask me how I can take your side, when no one else even tries.  I can only say that I love you as you are; I know who you are.

 

So, when ever anyone says something that isn't nice.  Know that I love you, and will show you the meaning of love.

I really liked the last line of this poem. It seems as if the woman in this piece is reassuring her lover that she will show him the true meaning of love, even one others are not "nice" to him. A slightly thought-provoking finale, perhaps?

In the first verse, I quite like the idea of the protagonist's lover acting as a light which carries her "through the darkness". An interesting metaphor.

Clearly, in verse three, the protagonist is also telling her partner that she loves him for what he is. Furthermore, she values the fact that she understands his true identity. And of course, letting him know that he is appreciated.

The writer did not need to provide a description for this poem, because her title makes it perfectly clear.


Great write!

This is exactly how I feel about my current love. He was a bit on the chunky side in middle school but he grew out of it. Many people still call him fat or once in a while they'll stop to look at him and then after a minute say "Oh my gosh I didn't recognize you! You're not fat anymore!" I used to yell at him when he called himself fat but he's past it now :)
Excellent piece! :D Magnifique!
