What is Love?

[cirne]

What is love?

What is love?
Am I the only one wondering?
In this day and age does it exist?

Is it like In the disney movies ?
The way two look in each other’s eyes
Like the world disappears?

Is it like a spark that brightens your day?
Like a single smile and all’s ok?

Is it the shared laughter?
The shared tears?
The shared dreams?
The shared moments?
The shared silence?

Is it the ability to hug and hold someone?
To think about them all the time?
To know they wait for you on the other side?
That they are there no matter what?

Is it the special moments?
The cooking together?
Play fighting?
Silly dates?
Putting ice-cream on each other’s noses?
Intense board game nights and Mario kart fights?

Is it warmth?
Constant comfort?
Is it real?
Is love real?

I feel like now days it’s just f*** you goodbye.
No one wants to try.
We argue it’s over.
Finished.
Done…

Why can’t we stay?
Why do they go away?
Isn’t love strong enough to stop us from pulling apart?

I want to believe
I want to feel it
But I don’t know if it exist anymore
I don’t think love is real anymore.
I don’t think love is real.
I don’t think love is…
Love is

Love is???
What is love?
