What Is Love?

Inspired by Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye's, "When Love Arrives."

-

Love is not what you think it is.

Love blinds.

Love hides... the truth from you.

Love says he loves you and he does not mean it.

I do not say to Love that I want commitment for Love will tell me I am simply acting "crazy."

I tell Love I am fine, and cry behind my screen of unreplied text messages.

I do not say that I deserve more love.

But I do deserve more love.

And when I meet Love again he'll look different.

Different eyes, different hair, different heart.

Love will drunkenly tell me he loves me, even though we're not together yet.

Love will leave a trail of kisses along the places Old Love used to hate.

Love will reply to every text, say every truth and know when I am not fine behind crying eyes.

Love will make me happier, Love will make me forget about Old Love although the memories still linger.

Love will tell me my past is a part of me but does not define me.

And it's true.

I do not miss Old Love because New Love makes me love myself and that, indefinitely, is new.
