What is love?

What is love?

We write about it
We talk about it
We even sing about it
Yet most have never felt it

Something so magical,
So wonderful
So beautiful
So scarce...

That one special person
That is your whole world
That holds everything you are
In their hands

Sometimes they treasure it
Sometimes loathe it
Sometimes trash it
Sometimes feel it too...

Is it worth the sacrifice?
The pain?
The unrequited feeling?
The loneliness or shame?

I hope it is worth it
I can only hope
Love will find me
And him too…
