love...

Love is like a volcano, It erupts and then it stops.And when it stops you have to make the desicion, weither or not you and your partner have become so binded together, that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.

Love is not your heart racing every moment you are around them,

It is not blushing when they enter the room

Love is not having the desire to mate every second of the day

It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body,

NO! don't blush

for that is just being IN love

love itself is what is left over after the fire of being in love has burned away

doen't sound very exiting does it?

oh but it is...

falling asleep in each others arms

and waking up holding hands

that...is love...

having them hold you close when your crying

or laughing with you when everyone is laughing at you

that...is love....

not this silly lust people mistake for the sheer innocence and happiness that lies deep within the TRUE love only few are lucky enough to expirience.

"it's a struggle to get through the day, and hard to get along"-That's not the definition of love, thats the definition of suffering. Listen to your heart, that sounds corny, but, it will tell you some things your mind may not be able to comprehend at the first thought

This was a well written love poem, you defined the sentiment quite well. You'll have great chances of finding actual love and fewer chances of being heartbroken because you understand on this level. Well done on both the poem and the wisdom.
