What is love?
When do we know when we are in love
Is it the feeling inside us, or a force up above
At times do we really know what love is
Is a hug just a hug, a kiss just a kiss
Why do our minds deceive us so much
Can it be caused by a feeling, a thought, or a touch
How does it make happiness, yet it also makes hate
Could you have if forever, or is it locked like a gate
When will it happen, when will it be
You never know this, for only your heart can see
Love is powerful, but yet it is weak
You'll do anything for it, for it is all that you seek
Once having love...then what do you do
You try so hard to get it, and now it's got you
Contained in the feelings, possessed by the dream
Noticing this is not what is seems
Now you must keep it...now you must know
Having love means that now you must show
Show what you have; show what you can give
It might last a short time or as long as you live
So try to remember what you want at the start
Love can be painful, or gift to the heart
