Love Isn'T Love Until Given Away

Many people today will throw their love away 
for many stupid and childish reasons 
when it's easy to see, that their mates aren't happy 
because its their own selves that they're busy pleasing. 
Its as if love to these folks is really a joke 
they say, "I love you," because its nice to be heard 
but if you'd enter their minds you'd probably find 
that to them, love is just another four letter word. 
However love to me is a necessity 
its more precious than anything to be had 
when you're getting and giving, it makes life more worth living 
and is why most lonely people feel so bad. 
But hear what I say, you must give love away 
before it can be considered something that's true 
its cool loving one's self, but be sure to love some one else 
and make sure that the some one else loves you. 
Love can not be stored, it must be shared and explored 
in order to really reach it's full potential 
it must be cared for a lot, and given all that you've got 
plus being patient is really quite essential. 
Love's not a game, no two loves are the same 
and there's no such thing as a perfect human being 
never judge a book by it's cover when considering a lover 
for there's usually more to that person than you're seeing. 
one thing that's no lie is true love does not die 
regardless of what people may say 
if love seemed dead in your heart tearing your life apart 
its because you probably didn't give it away.
