Love Is-

Love is unpredictable-
The way things are or seems now
Do not guarantee that
That's the way things
Would be or seems forever.

Love is being emotionally jealous-
Something is wrong when your 'to be'
Lapped or being lapped by outsider
And you do not seek the crowd
Through staging a hearty show.
No shame in reacting
To that which you treasure.

Love is trust-
If you can't confide in
That which you have,
Perhaps the memories
You share is in doubt.
And Affection means none
But equals zero
Or less than that.

Love is complicated-
You mayn't find it out yet
Until you find out
You can't let it go.

For: FRANK H.'s "Love is" contest.
