What is love?
It's much more than a word
Four letters long
It's powerful in many forms

It's often spoken
By people in many languages
But some still don't understand
It's true meaning

A fluttering heartbeat
Those clammy hands
A rush of blood inside
Butterflies in your stomach

Some believe it's desire
A few think it's lust
It's neither of those things
It's much deeper

It's a trust between two people
Male, female, same sex it doesn't matter who
Young and old, it doesn't discriminate
Nor by appearances or disability

Those who felt it for real
Will know what I mean
It changes who you are
What you are to become

It can hit you from anywhere
Without you even searching for it
A kiss, a hold of someone's hands
A look upon another from across a room

Love is such a powerful word
Don't say it if you don't mean it
It can hurt so many people
So use it only when you truly understand it's meaning
