What's Love

just wrote about questions i've had about love. how do you know?

What is it to know love?
Are there expectations
Limitations
Are there certain qualifications
Experienced sensations
Patience
Shall it be there for everyone
Only a few
Or maybe more
A given age
A certain type
Sweet,
generous,
beautiful,
smart,
successful,
lovely,
All wrapped into one
The perfect package
Is there some preparation
No class to be taken
Would you know that love if you had it?
If you had never before
Would you know now
Will there be a first
First be the last
Last be the only
Does it come around once...
Twice...
Three times, a charm
Is it the same for you
As it is for me;
Hear the "click"
Fall hard
Feel free
Heart sink
Butter-Flies
Love dies
There it is,
Silence lives
Lonely
But not alone
Night turns into day
Fierce be the tears that awaken
Dreams fading fast
The future becoming blurry
Heart heals
Scar remains
Come again
Come again
Powerful force
Not there for negotiation
Stay longer
Keep it going
Take what's to be had
Make it forever
