Love

What is love?

Love is so vast and complicated,
and yet the bond is so simple.
Love can be a strong as gravity,
or as feeble and fleeting as a swallow.

Love can create relationships,
or force them apart in an instant.
Love is protection and care,
but it's also independence and omitting.

Love is romantic,
but platonic forms coexist.
Love spurs people into action,
or chains them into bystanding.

Love can affect everyone,
but can't just be thrown around by anyone.

Love is such a small word,
with such a big meaning.

Love is contradictory,
yet love is homogenous.

In life or in death,
Love has a hold on us.

Love is, in my opinion,
a basic human mindset,
as essential as
learning how to breathe.

Keep love close,
and life will be beautiful,
because love is so much more
than just a four letter word.
