what is love?

there are too many meanings and interpertations of this simple four lettered word

it is as complicated as life itself yet as simple as a smile

love amalgamates two people but it can also rip them apart

love, some people say, is cruel and others is sweet.

sometimes love remains and other times it is ephemeral

why is that?

why does love hurt more than a physical wound?

can't it be fair and just be sweet to everyone?

love is being able to tolerate

love is being able to trust

love is simply being happy with the person you care about

love is...

love is...

the list goes on.

when love hurts it's bound to come back creeping up on you

even when you don't want it you can't help your heartbeats

or when you instantly smile after thinking or seeing that special persons face

no we can never get away from this powerful word

this power is so often abused though

it's meaning is diminishing by the users

i love you and you and you oh and you too

it's getting worn.

because teens have made a superficial love that has spread and is so much more common

so it's hard to tell if you're in fact truly in love

one day you'll be all over someone whispering sweet words then the next you and i are strangers

generations just want to be older try to act mature enough for this complicated feeling

but in the end the butchered it

so what is love really?
