What is Love?

A Poem to Help Clarify Love

By Elizabeth De WittPublished 6 years ago 2 min read

Love is such a used word, It's a word that everyone's heard. Not many understand what it's really worth, you can toss and trash it; but it's still on this Earth. Guys will say it to girls just to get in their jeans, that's all some girls know; they don't know what it means. To be truly loved by a guy, who just wants her for HER, To know you're loved without saying a word. All you have left is to smile and look in his eyes, and he's captivated and to his surprise. He finds it deep within his soul, to love and respect you is his only goal. To finally show and prove to her, that the love he holds is good and pure. We've all made mistakes and we'll make more, but striving to do better is what we're here for. No matter what you wear, make-up or clothes, He should treat you right; better than those, girls that are commonly seen as bitches and hoes. He should caress you, hold you and gently kiss your nose. Don't let men woo you because you're wearing a frown, be patient and strong and never back down. Know what you believe and stick to your post, Because in all honesty, God loves you most. You shouldn't feel honored or loved by a BOY, when they look at your body and think it's a toy. You're not to be played with, you're a human being, not some image for sick guys to be seeing. I'm not saying to hide or cover your body, but be cautious when you say you LOVE somebody. Love is really hard to truly define, but once you know it's meaning; you'll be just fine. If I had to define it so it sticks and lasts, love someone for who they are not what's in their past. That's what gets everyone these days, being judgmental and saying things in critical ways. Don't stick around because you feel sorry or stressed, because the one you love is sad or depressed. Long distance makes love harder in every way, Because you need that closeness at the end of the day. Love is an action; it's never a noun, it's something we all have to build up from the ground. Make the foundation strong and steady, and always make sure your heart is ready. Don't say "I love you" just to say it, prove it to show that you really mean it. Because like I've said, love is an action; it's meant to be, so that it's not just words floating around like honey bees. Love is like a team, play some, lose some, in the end you score. Because Together Everyone Accomplishes More!
