Love

Love.

A word for many emotions.

A word that can describe everything.

From the strang behavior of a boy,

To the spring in a girl's step as she flitters down the hallway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So many emotions

Compacted and Compressed into a single word.

Four simple letters.

They cant do justice for the millions of possibilities it upholds.

Yet, they do.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love is a strong word,

a weak word, a good word,

a hated word, a brave word,

a happy word, a sad word,

a lifted word, a gifted word.

Love is an emotional word.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Its hard to find, but easy to fake.

It pulls of a camouflage to an unknown seeker,

Yet brilliantly pulses for others,

It can hide in dark places,

It can shine like the sun,

It's found in your heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some are consumed by it,

While others push away from it like its a disease.

Love is a strenght,

But also a weakness.

It gives you courage in your time of need,

But can also be used against you when you're down.

Love is an evil necessity

And a strived amenity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love is for those who are lost,

Who cant find the way home,

Who are blinded by the world.

They slip throught the cracks,

Unnoticed,

Untouched,

Completely helpless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love,

True love,

Is found in the rhythm of a dog's tail against the hardwood as it welcomes its master home.

It is found in the eyes of a mother as she looks down at her newborn child.

It is not found in stories and fairytales.

It is found in the real world.

The true world.

True love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those who haven't found it,

Need patience.

Those who are scared to look,

Need bravery.

Those who stopped looking,

Need time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love is not a game.

Love is not serious.

Love is playful,

Love is new,

Love is an adventure.

Love is not taken for granted.

Love is not pushed aside.

Love is endless,

Love is joyful,

Love is ecstatic.

Love is not bad,

Love is true.

Love.
