Love is something
Can not be anything
Somebody being special to someone
But it cannot belong to just anyone

Does it lead to the highest peak of the mountain?
Or
To the deepest part of the grounded fountain?

Does it cause lasting pain?
Or
Does it cause lasting happiness?

Is it not different than lust?
Or is it?
Does it form lasting rust?

When our loved ones are hurt
They cry and weep
Our heart cries out
Not ordinary tears
Tears of guilt
When we can’t help our loved ones

We are willing to loose
Everything
Our dreams, our hearts
Even our lives
Just for the sake of our loved ones
That one smile to appear on the lips
Of our loved ones

This love is what
You can’t understand
Till you
Fall in it
Fade in its world
And then you know what it is
It does give you pain
Sometimes lasting rust
But also gives what’s called
Humanity
Sympathy
Relationship
Care

No person in this world
Can exist without it
Whether it’s parental love
Siblings love
Friends love
Relationships love

Love is simply pure
Of all the dirt
Of all the selfishness
Of all the cruelty
It’s like a melody
Which goes on and on
And leaves behind
What becomes our
Life

It may take a lifetime to recognize
Love
Or it may take
One moment to realize it
It may take one’s life
So open your eyes
Look for your love
Let them know the intensity
Of your love and feelings for them
Before you loose them
And then could do nothing
Except regret
