Love Poem: Love

Love

Love is what everyone wants
It's what most people think is missing from their lives
It's what leads two people to sit in the middle of a bench when there's room on either side
The expression of love is even given it's own holiday
It gives musicians a topic for every song
It gives people belief in forever
Belief in happiness
People give up their space and independence to be with one person for the rest of their lives
It gives people 50th wedding anniversaries
Gives them children
Gives them hope
When you find this love you want to hold on to it forever, never let it go
But sometimes that love leaves you
And you're left alone, with little hope
Laying on the floor not thinking anything is worth it
