Love

Love.

How to love.

What is love, really?

Is the the "I love yous"

The endless talking on the phone;

"No, you hang up first"

Is it in the eyes?

His gaze off into the distance as he ponders

- "Is there a future for us?"

The look in her eyes - "They smile"

Is love in the endless fights?

Cause trust me, the fights are going to come.

-Peace treaties when they get a piece ... 

Is it in reconcilliation?

Is love in bearing pain for that special someone?

(I'm honestly asking, I have no clue)

Is love only love in the bedroom?

His sighs giving way to her moans ...

That twinning which we innately yearn for.

Is love purely physical?

"Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?"

Is love in the years together?

His balding head, her sagging breasts

- "I remember when I could count your wrinkles"

That mutual support, they help each other to climb the stairs.

So what is love, really?

Is it a lesson we all have to learn on her own?

-Life doesn't come with a manual.

Make of it what you will.
