What is Love?

I always wonder.

If this is real,

I'll volunteer

an answer.

Its a strange sense

like you've been wandering

lost in the wilderness

for all your life,

and then

coming home.

Its like

you've been sailing

through stormy weather,

treacherous waves,

raging seas,

and then pulling your ship

back to the safety

of the harbour.

Its like

all you yearn for

is to see

her smile,

to hear

her laughter.

Her happiness

is your happiness

her joy

is your joy.

And you will do everything

humanly possible

and even beg God

for divine strength,

so you can

make her happy

make her smile.

It is when

you see her cry,

it hurts like

an invisible hand

grabbing your heart

and squeezing the life out

with razor sharp nails.

It is when

you see her in pain,

and you want

to strike a deal with God

or the Devil,

to swap places

with her.

So what is Love?

It is when

you just want

to give and give

and expect nothing

or want nothing

in return.
