Is Love Real

Is love a virus,
an airborne disease?
Is Love like catching Flu,
via a cough or sneeze?
I cannot see it
and neither can you,
I'm not sure if I believe
that it's even true.
Is it a mental illness,
a condition of the mind?
I have my suspicions
it could be something of that kind.
How can we tell if love is real?
When it is something
we cannot see,
is it wishful thinking
or simply fantasy?

Science have only recently identified pheromones, so the search for love continues! Aloha! Rico

True but I am not searching, , infact I am avoiding. Jenny x
