Love Can Be ...

Love can be whatever you want it to be.

It can be like a rose with its delicate fragrance or
It can be like a thorn from a rose’s stem.

It can be as sweet as honey from the hive or
It can be like a sting from a bee. 

It can be like the warmth from a fire or
It can be as cold as a shoulder.

It can be like the smell of fresh baked cookies or
It can be like cookies crumbling in your hand

Love can be like rising after a good nights sleep or
It’s like being kept awake from your lover’s constant snoring

It can be like a romantic candlelight dinner or
It can be a quick run to McDonalds

It can be a long lasting sensual kiss or
It can be a peck on the cheek.

It can be like gently caressing your lovers face or
It can be a rough uncaring squeeze instead

It can be like a gift from Cupids bow or
It can break your heart if you let it.

Love can be whatever you want it to be or
It can be nothing at all.
