Love Is...A Poem by Jackson YangLove Is… Love is the epitome
The gold standard The everything you could ever ask for The one thing in life that constantly makes us think It isn't the simple "Damn girl I think you are fine"
Hoping to get a giggle or a smirk Cause you know she'll fall for even that jerk The cheap corny lines hoping to get in their minds The lies told hoping for that one night stand Dropping them before they wake cause you know you have nothing at stake No that isn't love
That is the lust for nothing more than your hormones could care That is the sleaze that comes to mind stopping at every corner with a dollar in hand That is the man that waits for the drunken state to pounce on his date That is what we call the dog that needs to be whipped and let go No you see love is what true to hearts would call their everything
The complete feeling that can never be beat Love is the knowing you have somewhere you belong The feeling of actually being complete with someone who actually cared enough to stand along The place where "Honey I'm home" actually means something more Love is the companionship that lasts for all time
Not that simple boyfriend, girlfriend we see at every turn No it is the husband and wife that vow till the end of time never to split It is the commitment of eternity even knowing that all I will ever see is your face It is the newborn child that makes even the most stubborn men fall down and cry It is the family that growing up you never knew you would have It is the "I never knew how I lived without all this" state You see love isn't the sex that dogs always crave
It isn't the "I love you" that everyone throws around without any cares It isn't that puppy love that comes all too often in our lives It is the knowing "I love you" never has to be said to show I care The undying support without ever asking why The one call away where even 2 am means I'm up to hear all your fears Love is the family and friends that always try
The people who don't accept "I'm ok, there’s nothing wrong" Who constantly bug until even you have to go on The ones who will listen and never judge on any date Who spend all their time until finally you are free from all your lies Even at the cost of missing out on that once in a lifetime To be by your side is worth more than any dollar sign Love is the ultimate feeling of pure bliss
Where nothing seems to matter but you and her When opening car doors and holding her purse is worth all the looks Even as friends wonder "Is he whipped" But to you this is worth any risk The reward that comes with being with you is worth any diss The truest love for this man is just being with you
When calling after work to say hi is worth his weight in gold When long pauses, staring at you, mean more than nights out with the guys and cheap booze The holding your hand knowing you never want to let go The hug at every goodbye is simply heaven by your side A feeling unmatched by any value of the mind The finally knowing, I have all that I ever wished for under every star in the sky Love is that epitome that has no compare
Love is the standard that is worth all our cares Love is the everything that has no fears Love is you the one who holds all my fears The complete, the commitment of time
The treasure simply too hard to find That is what is worth the time The love that stands even the test of time © 2009 Jackson YangReviews
