What is love?

Location

Could love ever be something simple or easy?

Give you happiness, never think to make you queezy.

Find that true love the first time around, 

instead of the first,second,or third time your life comes tumbling down.

Just point me in the direction I can find my life partner,

or just hide love away until my hearts that much harder.

Everyone thinks hearts are just toys,

when the going gets old there is no more joy.

After the playing is done & the toy's worn down,

a chip here, a crack there with a painted on frown.

Where is that knight that was promised, 

why is love never honest?

You may one day just find,

love is not gentle or always kind.

But in time you will see 

what was selfish and mean.

Just condisions you to know what love is not,

it's not bought, it's not taught, it can't even be caught.

Love needs find, not be sought.

 

Wait, love? Is that a he, she, that, or thing?

Oh it's love on a knee, hand out with a ring.
