What is love?

What is love?
Is it a feeling?
Is it a promise?
Is it just something you say to get what you want?
Or is it something else entirely?

To me love is...
Two people who will risk anything to be with each other,
Its calling the other person at 2 in the morning,
even though you know you will get the answering machine,
just to hear their voice.

To me love is...
A commitment to someone
Who knows you will be there for them through the good and the bad,

To me love is...
A feeling you get when you see that certain person
And you know that everything will be alright.

So I ask you,
What does love mean to you?

A lot of the poems I'm reading today are quite thought provoking, and yours is definitely one of them. I love when writing makes me think.. Nice job(:

This is amazing!
It really makes you think about what love actually is.. It's not about the kissing, cuddling, speaking of the word love...

It's about acting upon it, giving your life to your love, being there when ever where ever. It's being faithful, loyal... Love defines itself, that's when you know.

Well done, great write(:

I really like how everyone has their own definition of what love is and that you're willing to express your own. It was a good read :)

This is not quite what I was expecting when I first opened it, but I think you are right. What is love to me? Hm, I don't quite have an answer for that.
I like the second stanza, although I'm not sure why.
