Love

What is that emotions name? Is it the one they call love?

 

Love

An emotion I yearned for

For so many years

I waited as my heart tore

And watched as backs turned

Felt the glares on my back

Heard the whispering

I cried myself to sleep every night

And sometimes thought how better

It would be

If I just

Died

I had no family

No friends

No un-rounded corners or bends

But then they came along

The people who really cared

About who I was

Love

It was instantaneous when I saw them

Even if I confused it

With something else

It was always there

Especially for those two

Who were my comrades

My best buddies

I may not be the best guy

But I’m not the worst, either

So all those years of hate

The whispers

The glares

The turned backs

Mean nothing anymore

I now realize

That they have molded me

To be more excepting

To not take that emotion for granted

The emotion they call

Love 

Author's Note

I was reading a book (a manga book) and two characters never really felt what it was like to be loved. This came out of it.

Great write. There are other words or rather adjectives that are similar to Love, and if you look under my writing and type in "Philosophy of Love" I some-what detailed the other words to compare them to Love. You may find other words --"like" "adore" "obsess" stuff like that. Thank you for sharing. Keep your passion alive. a friend. Butch D.

Also wanted to say that it was not the Philosophy of Love, but instead it is titled: "One Of The MOst Difficult Things" i had reviewed before and made a boo boo. check that one out, I actually featured it, so it is easier to find. your work is good, I liked Nothing.
