Love - A Definition

Love is not an emotion.

To love someone is to try

To do the right thing,

No matter how you feel -

Always.



Love is not hunger for flesh,

But admiration of it.

It is understanding,

And listens more often than speaks.



Love is not a condition

That will tarnish with time.

It is an ageless connection

Between similar hearts.



Love is not an obsession,

But a special friendship.

It is an appreciation

And joy of life in each other's eyes.



Love doesn't hurt.

That feeling of a broken heart

Is the reaction of giving -

Yet not receiving.



Love is never dead.

It will last longer than us.

It will guide our hearts together,

So that we can live, die, and rest in communion -

Always.
