What’s Love?

–

Rather being hurt

Than be the reason for someone’s pain

It’s not logical

Sometimes even insane

Just the simple truth

Not a comfortable lie

Even if that means

The other one says goodbye

Rather protect

Than run away

Never leave

Always stay

Just being there

May it be day or night

When someone needs you

To make sure they’re alright

Rather open up

Than build a wall

Never letting someone down

Staying loyal

Just making someone smile

Even if they’re stubborn

Care freely

And expect nothing in return

Rather go through hell

Than give up

Even when it seems hopeless

Fighting through and never stop

Just doing little things

To make someone happy

Keeping someone safe in your heart

Now, that is love, if you ask me…

A very beautiful poem, and the sentiment is dead on far as I can tell. It truly is wonderful.

  Thank you so much.
  I got this question from a friend of mine. I thought it would be nice to answer it in a poetic form.
  After all, just like poetry, love comes from the heart and soul.

Love this one in so many ways. I remember discussing “what is love” with you & quoting a song I know by the same title. What more important subject than you have done with this poem!!! Phil

  I had a discussion with a friend about this subject and it made me think.
  It’s a hard feeling to capture because there are so many sides to it.
