| What's Love? (Part II) |
| It�s been three years since I first felt it Three years since I tried to comprehend it Looking back I had a lot of it wrong But I also had the jist of it down Back then I knew I was in love There�s only been one other girl I�ve loved since then But now I�ve realized what it�s like to have a true love A love so strong it defies all odds There are many differences between love and true love Neither one is fleeting but only one alters your life Ironically true loves contradicts most of what I thought True love is not a stronger love, it�s completely different I realized that you won�t have tell your friends to cool it You won�t have to piss them off to make her happy For if it�s true love she�ll be giving them shit back And give you the freedom to be with them like usual You may have to defend her and take a bullet But only if you can keep her from doing the same for you She won�t ask you to go blouse shopping Cuz she won�t want to leave your arms To treat her like a queen means just being there for her She doesn�t need you to spend money on her She won�t need the presents to keep her happy A phone call has the same effect on her True love won�t have you denying it There�s no denying something that feels that natural And you won�t have to wonder if it�s reciprocated Because true love always has a counterpart If you get her you�ll still be thankful For the feelings of wholeness will stay with you But even if you won�t you�ll still be grateful To have met someone who gave you that experience Your true love will make no mistakes in your eyes She will just have moments of imperfection She won�t be the answer to all your prayers She�ll be the reason your other prayers went unanswered Three years later I realize that love isn�t just a feeling It�s something that changes your life It�s something that becomes a part of who you are True love is something that gives you hope It�s also something that you�ll never forget Something you�ll never truly regret Right or wrong true love is something not to be missed Even if it leaves you before it should And it�s still true that fools fall in love But it takes someone special to cause a change in him From a fool to a wiseman with foolish tendencies This right here was my foolish tendency |
| This is a follow up to one of my previous poems "What's Love" that I wrote in June 2002. If you read some of it first then you'll know a bit more about the lines. EIther way I think it stands on it's own I think. I don't know. That's for all of you to judge. Written on July 21, 2005. |
