What is love?
I'd love to know
Is it a flower
Waiting to grow

Love is a word
Said too much
But it's a word
Not said enough

We seem to say it
A lot nowadays
But is it just for now,
Or forever and always?

Who knows? Who cares?
We're stuck in the moment
We can't let go
Because we want to own it

So what is love?
I still don't know
But it's proven by
What we show...

Love is a word that is said a lot around the world. Some of us don't know that it means more than what we believe it means. I'm unfamiliar with the true meaning of love. I know it can be used and interpreted to mean different things in different situations; loving a family member is different than loving a boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, etc. It's said sometimes too much but not to the right people...
