Making Sense

The truth about love

Is that it is not so easy

Many writers and poets

With the help of singers

Would try and idealize it.

But love is not just about romance

It is more then kisses and hugs

We romantics are guilty if forgetting

What love really means.

Not about hearing words

Or seeing the actions

Not even about that stupid rose

In fact, it deals with the heart

Love is about sticking it through

It starts with a look

And ends with a fight,

But in between these steps

Are long life lessons

Love is about two and not one

It is about arguing and fighting

Some screams and some moments

Of true weakness

It deals with the constant struggle

Of everyday life

And it consists of strength

Given freely by the other person

It has nothing do with sex, passion,

Or even our religions

For it is not always nice and dandy

In fact, there is a lot of frustration.

Love begins with one

Our image, our strengths

And even our weaknesses

It is about loving oneself

Before loving other

About understanding the consequences

Before doing the action

About the team work

And about the forgiving.

It is not about the rhyme

Or even about the beauty

It is about a feeling inside

Our very souls and our very hearts

I feeling that say I want to there

I want to help and I want to be weak

It says that I will remember you

And that no matter what

I will forgive all the wrongs.

Love is not a one, two, three step

It is work, sweat, and tears

About moving forward and

Even giving up.

It deals with all the things that

Are good and bad.

Love is great when you have it,

So start with you

And then move on

To the surrounding world.

For love comes in many levels

Parent to child, friendship

And that between couples

Love is that just a word

Nothing more nor nothing less.
