Understanding

A little bit of everything.

I thought i understood love, but i didn't.

Not even in the slightest.

You see love is a mixture of things, 

and sometimes not the nicest. 

Love can fix your broken heart, 

or tear it further apart.

It can make you regret feeling the way 

you did, and letting them into your heart.

Love can be pain, 

and can remove the sunshine from your life, 

and bring in the rain.

I thought i understood love, but i didn't.

But i think i'm getting there.

Love can be everlasting,

and fulfilling. 

It can give you quite a scare.

You feel things you've never felt before, 

and your start to notice little things, like

their hair. How it flicks on the one side in

the wind, and how their lips quiver when 

they sing. 

I didn't understand love, but now i do.

Love is how i feel about you.

Author's Note

I feel like one day the person who i write love poems about will break up with me, and these will stop. Then i won't be able to read them, because it'll hurt.

But hey, what can i say? i'm a hopeless romantic.

Nothing wrong being a hopeless romantic. Love does have it's mixed feelings. It can be awesome at time, and there are other times it just brings you pain. I can feel your emotions through this piece. Don't let the past haunt you (trust me, I'm trying not the past bug me as well, but it does catch up with you) and drag you down. My advice for you, and this is coming from my experiences in the past, hang out with the people that put a smile on your face, not the ones who suck your happiness away from you.

It alllll depends. Sometimes it sucks, but sometimes it doesn't. I wish i was more of a realist. Love is exactly like that yes. It's best to just move forward, and look ahead instead of back yeah.
I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for reading!

Wow... I love the ending so much and the last line was a beautiful essence💕💕💕
But I, in all humbleness, strongly recommend you to replace "mixture" and perhaps "nicest".. It will make a difference as far as I see.

[Brook]

I think if i replaced them, it would just be too drastic of a change. Again, thank you very much for your input and feedback, but i feel like the words help make the poem.
Thank you for reading.

[Daydreamer]

Yess, you're welcome but "mixture" felt weak for a really well written poem! It would rather feel electric I guess, it would for me as a reader ✌
and I'm not asking you to omit it, just replace it with a better synonym
but as you like though😂😂😂😂

[Brook]

Okay. But you're the first to complain, but whatever.
Thanks anyway.

[Daydreamer]

Hahahaha why so serious? I don't mean to dishearten you-.-

[Brook]

Alright. :)

[Laura Harrison]

I don't think anyone understands love 100%, it's very confusing! But I think you managed to get it spot on, this is such a beautiful piece :)

[Brook]

It is confusing! Thank you, Laura. :)

[Chris Micha]

I think you understand love in your way. Love is felt and means differently to each individual. Love evolves over time and begins to mean more to us as time goes by. You have really captured love in this piece and I truly enjoyed it! :)

[Brook]

Thank you, Christian.

[Stefanie Holmes]

Haha, thank you dear.

[The Girl Who Loved Too ..]

Love can be everything in your life, and when it's gone, it's leaves you with nothing. Cherish it when you have it.

[Brook]

Exactly, good point.

[Pryde Foltz]

Understanding love doesn't get any easier but one does learn its importance. Great write.

[Brook]
