Define Love

by Elysia "ely" Rashid - Taurus

How can you feel power
With society breathing down your neck?
How ca you feel love
With grieve and hate always on your side?
Why is it, that when i'm happy
It occurs to be unfamiliar
Why is it i know, the imperfections of life
When i'm so young, and only beginning
I'm always wondering...
What if this way of life is contagious?
What if other people's views on life
Were as negative and depressing as mine?
Life is not a win-lose situation
Because, you see... you will always lose
Things may go good for a while
But all things come to an end
The problem with things today
Is the struggle between the world and it's people
Because love is what makes life complete
Love is what keeps smiles on faces
Wether it's love for money
Love for trust
Love for someone
Or even love for yourself
But how can anyone feel love
How do you know that's what your feeling?
How do you know your definition of love
Is the same as the one you love?
What exactly is the real definition?
Is there even one?
Or is the word just a cover up
Covering and hiding the need for sympathy
When you define love...
Do you mention a tingling sensation?
Do you mention a fast beating heart?
Do you mention a the eye-catching stares?
I've said i felt love
And i've proclaimed the 3 words: "i love you"
But was i being truthful?
Or was i just being hopeful?

Reason for writing:

    just my feelings on love
