What Is Love?

What I think Love is... and how much it can hurt and feel great!
Love is something you want to hold
You don’t want to let go
Because it gets mixed in with your soul
It’s your very light
You want to hold tight
With all your might
Knowing if you let go
You’re all alone
You have no one to hold
Love hurts so much when it is crushed
It makes you want to die
You can’t help but cry
Even though you promise
Yourself that it’s not worth it
He’s just another guy
But love is like a drug
You fall in love and you can’t quit
You’re so addicted to it
That you want to never let go
But there is always a time that someone will let go
Right?
Its the truth but you try to ignore the fact
With all your might
That love can last forever but it’s rare
Usually love tears apart
And then you have to start all over again
It hurts so much to leave a person who was once a friend
When the one you love leaves
You want to scream and rip your heart out
You can’t help but shout
What’s the point of a heart if it can’t love no more
You want to close the door
You want to quit and never love again
But then someone you never realized comes along
He’s just a friend
Who helps you out of the dark
You look at him as if he was your new heart
A new start for love that was worn
It was reborn even though you’re still torn
You want to try to give love another chance
You just want romance
To feel loved and feel like you’re needed
To feel like you’re actually appreciated
If love hurts so much then why do we try
Even though in the end we might just cry
Is it because the look in there eyes when they tell the truth
When they say they love you and mean it with all there hearts
It’s like a new start in your life in your world
That you finally found the perfect boy
And hoping that he thinks you’re the perfect girl
Is it the feeling you get when you fist kiss or hug
That you cant help but fall in love
I have been blessed and cursed in the same time
I love this boy of mine so much
It’s more then just a crush
It drives me mad
I’m so damn glad he chose me from all the rest
He is the one that makes my heart beat faster in my chest
I don’t care if you think that we aren’t in love
Or that you think that we are too young
And just acting dumb
This is what I think love is all about
It has pain, tears, screams and shouts
Cuz isn’t that what love is all about
To have good times and bad
To have new experiences the best you ever had
To have the worse times but still get by
To be able to say that this person is mine
This is what I feel this is what I have
I have a great relationship and it has its good times and bad
