random thoughts on love (first draft)

l-o-v-e
the word everyone tries to define
but never come close

better to have once loved
than never loved before?
but you'll never truly know will you
because you can't be both at the same time

love is what makes the world go round?
if it is, then wouldn't it spin
faster and faster when i see you?

but of cos, i'm mistaken
that's not love, that's lust
but isn't lust the physical form of love?

surely love is physical
as well as mental
and definitely spiritual
for it transcends everything

but what would i truly know about love
for love's a two-way thing isn't it?
so that would make unreciprocated love
a contradiction wouldn't it?

love is everything
yet nothing but a feeling
love encompasses many many things
yet is the simplest thing in the world

indeed, i seem to see the light
of what love is, not what it isn't
perhaps the reason i'm able to
is because i'm not in it

i don't claim to know all of it
for who truly can?
but i know what i need to know
to make me love... love

l-o-v-e
the word everyone can't define
because we're too close
way too close to it
