Love is

Love is a mosquito buzzing around your head.

Love is a concept, someone once dared. 

Love is lost. 

Love itself is a cost. 

Love is empty. 

Love? Simply?

Love is cruel. 

Love will kick you like a stubborn old mule. 

Love is an idea, written about in books, poems, songs, movies sold. 

Love has been theorized with words, untold. 

Love is fleeting.

Love is a chance meeting?

Love will leave you wrung out. Spent!

Love; there logic went!

Love; we want it. Need it!

Love will screw you while you try to achieve it. 

Love is a dull ache that won’t go away. 

Love – that’s all I can say.

      1. Love is different for everyone. One of my favorite quotes about love/marriage is from Beverly Clark – Shall We Dance?

        Beverly Clark: “We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet… I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things… all of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness’.”

      2. ❤️True love means being willing to set yourself aside and really witness someone else’s life, with all the good things and all the hard things. It’s not for the faint of heart, or those without empathy.
