What Is Love

   Everybody’s conception of love varies.

   To some, it is just a mere infatuation.

   To others, it is trust and respect.

                                       In the past, love was difficult for me.

                                       It only gave two options:

                                       Happiness or depression.

   I suppose these were the reasons

                                                                                                Why I did not love for the past few years.

                                                                                                I preferred to stay neutral

                                                                                                Instead of experiencing sorrow.

     And through the times I’ve been hurt,

    I learned another -

    To appreciate love,

    To appreciate the people who love me,

    To value what I have, instead of doubting if it is real -

    Or if it would last.

                            And though I do not believe in love at first sight

                            Or destined love,

                            I do believe in true love.
