LOVE?

it has been and will be the question peeling from the lips of teenagers

 and elders years passed and for years to come.

how do we know its real, how do we feel it, 

how do we explain it?

is it that butterfly feeling,

 is it that sensual sensation gushing through our brains?

what is love,

how do we know when it's love?

some have said it feels like ice-cream,

once you get it, you just can't get enough.

others say it's self acceptance, 

trust and experience.

the willingness to care for someone for being him/herself,

even with their faults and self inequities.

the act of making love,

the act of acquiring self benefits,

the act of showing selfless devotion to that special someone.

my mother once told me that when you're in love, you'll know,

the way someone makes you feel,

the fact that you can't stop thinking about that special someone,

loving him/her selflessly,

acceptance of who that person is,

and unconditionally loving them.

will someone help me please!!!!!!!!! 

i need to know.

The various answers the poem gives to the question it asks really shows how difficult the question is to answer. It forces your mind to think and question yourself. Really thought provoking. Thanks for sharing
