2- Love

Love is not a feeling that everyone can feel
Rather, it’s an action that must be real
For if it’s not real what is it then? Fake
And who are we for another person’s heart to take?
A heart must be given to us through the show of love
Not through a symbol like flowers or a pure white dove
Love isn’t butterflies in the stomach when you see him or her
Rather it’s the choice to keep pushing on and keep it from being over
It’s the call backs after the hang ups
It’s saying “Keep pushing on,” when you hear “I’m giving up”
It’s the forgiving of offenses when forgiveness isn’t deserved
It’s the willingness to serve and to be served
Love never gives up on the person that receives
For if love could end, where would we all be?
Love has lost it’s meaning…it’s not a feeling that you feel
Rather, it’s an action that must be completely real
