love isn't

love isn't

A Poem by highonwords



when i called you names,
i call only my lovers,
i was hoping it wouldn't be
the same with you,
a thought that paled
as we went on kissing,
then after that, you went out
for a smoke, to get to know me,
before sunrise, i swear
i fell in love with you,
before we even kissed,
but i've seen these all before,
i can't believe i've come
to know you in an hour,
so much sorrow after,
i haven't felt in a long time,
right when i didn't believe
in love anyway, i came
to know what it isn't ,
not knowing what it is

sometimes i wonder if we ever actually know love---i think we do only find out what it isn't...and it definitely is perplexing to say the least...it happens quickly and can be over just as quickly....but hurts just the same as if it wanders in slowly into our hearts and leaves the same way.

Sometimes it is easier to know what love is not, that what it is.
