True Love?

A Poem I wrote when i confessed everything to a girl... the response I got was not what I expected, but that's life isn't it? at least a half decent poem came out of it :

What is true love?

Will we ever find out.

Is it to have feelings for someone

You can't live without?

 

Or make memories in time

That won't ever fade

Ones you hold onto

And would never trade.

 

Is love what you see

When that person stands near

Your eyes open wide

And the world seems clear.

 

Maybe it's that perfect sent

Of someone you desire

When all else goes wrong

It always takes you higher

 

That can't be it

For love is much to unique

It makes the saddest men happy

And the strongest feel weak

 

Love is not what they say

We've been victims from the start

If you get to attached

It will tear you apart

 

It can break a person down

And infect there very soul

They forget who they are

And lose all control

 

Have you ever looked at someone

And knew they were the one

Would you really know for sure

Before it had begun

 

Or would you need time

To see if it was true

Make sure that this person

Was the right one for you

 

Would that ruin the point

Of what true love is about

To have to think about it first

And get rid of the doubt

 

So tell me, be fair

Does true love exist

Is it something we require

Something that no one can resist?

 

Or is it just one big lie

That we use to explain

Everything we say we feel

To cover up the pain.

you are right you do love rhyme!

this poem interested me from the very begining the title drew me in, i am a sucker when it comes to love, love is all i need!

love is amazing isn't it?

this poem was brilliant i LOVED your selection of words, my favorite part of the poem was when you said:

"Have you ever looked at someone

And knew they were the one

Would you really know for sure

Before it had begun"

yes i have found myslef doing that, it is hard to determine ones future, often we make mistakes by our judge of ones character from our first impressions, but love at first sight is indeed possible.

Love is full of pain and mistakes, but when you actually do find the ONE its absolutely magical, perfect relationships are myths, but working together to become a team is something that once acheived, you can just LOVE eachother eventually you become immune to their faults, you know they exists but you don't judge them for it.

I probably don't make any sense, and I've gone on and on..but hey, these are the things that came to mind upon reading this poem.

Love isn't always lost, when you find the right love it can be the most amazing thing ever.
