What Exactly Is Love

What exactly is love?
Because I feel so unloved...
Is it that my definition of love
Is far greater than how it's defined?
I can't feel any love,
I know how greatly I can love someone,
But I am never loved as much as I'd like.

What exactly is love?
Can you put it into words for me?
I need to feel the love
That this person supposedly feels for me.

What exactly is love?
What is it being loved?
