As I considered this beautiful thing called Love,
And how people are quick to say, "I Love You",
Without knowing what it means, or what being in love would involve,
I am inspired to share my thoughts on this subject with you,
So, I ask; What's Love?
Is it lust or "lost", is it infatuation, passion, deception, or may be titillation,
Is it a mere feeling, or an inner excitement, sentiment, a carnal embodiment or a sexual embellishment,
Is it a one night stand, "a forever stand", a short term stand or an entirely impossible realization,
Is it only a fairy tale, fading fantasies, unrealistic day dreams or an ephemeral excitement,
What really is this Love?
Is it true, real, godly, divine, heavenly and sent only from above,
Well, after much cogitation, after much meditation, and after much contemplation,
I am awakened and enlightened as to what this Love really is and to its true description,
For once, it is not lust neither is it "lost", it is far from infatuation even if it may start as infatuation,
It could be a true passion, but it is certainly not deception for it doesn't wear a camouflage, and it is not an instant titillation,
It is not a one night stand, no, not at all, it is certainly a "forever stand", for it lasts forever if it is real and true, And in a misinformed and ignorant world like ours, this Love is still a possible realization-this too, is true,
Love is not a fairy tale, it is not a fading fantasy or an unrealistic day dream or an ephemeral excitement,
But this Love is true, it is real, it is godly, it is divine, it is heavenly and is sure from above-this is not a fallacious inducement,
To make you accept this concept, but a beacon to lead you along love's true path,
For true love is selfless, sacrificing, it is giving, it is considerate, it would die for its own, and remains even on a difficult path,
Need I say more? True love is not selfish, it is not proud, it doesn't hurt its own, it is always there and ever present, it is all these but lust, and infatuation-it doesn't lead on a deceptive and destructive path...
So, the next time, you feel like saying, "I Love You", be sure you understand what you are saying and mean it.
