love

Is it really true?

So what's this love that everyone claims to want?

To have and to hold..perhaps til death,

What is this love?

Affection,caring and being there for each other?

Or is it nothing of that sort?

Is it the tears that stream because of hurt-

the hurt of not ever being with the one..

The one whom you "fell for"

It seems that "love" is used too generously-

without meaning-tis a stereotype

A word that's abused by those with cruel intentions-consciously and unconsciously

True love isn't the roses,the texts and the dates

It's the sadness..the sentiments of isolation and the desire to become a better person.

True love is like my grandma,

Who has loved -one man for over forty years and though his sun set early,

She never loved another again-besides the offspring.

Love grows,it blooms as the wonderous poui tree,

It has the power to stir feelings that makes one alive,

become optimistic-yet disappoints

The fairy tale love...does it really exist?

It may not seem so, but unlike fairy tales

Love is unconditional and eternal,

It satisfies the moments of life

It sustains life

but it destroys life..

It teaches the lessons of broken trust,pain but that is the epitome of love,

For if one overcomes the broken trust and embraces forgivness time after time

Then maybe that love is true.

Just maybe,full trust could never be gained ....

One does not know the feelings their partner feels

It is a risk...

A risk one has to take-to overcome the infidelity,the silly mistakes,jealously and the deaths...

Love is unfortunate,

Love is replaceable and it's forgetten

But despite everything,

we all want that love

Love doesn't exist,
because it wasn't created in the first place
it is merely understood,
found in the most unusual places
The compassion of love is based on genuity and grace,it is found by anyone..different colour,different race.
