Love-As Simple As Can Be

How many books, songs, poems and movies have been created 
on the supposition that love is complicated?

Within their writings flows this message…
sometimes histrionic…sometimes understated
that, if it’s simple…it can’t be love…because love is complicated.

Example after example is given to prove their point with certainty
but there are others of us out here who look at love and beg to disagree.

For us love is as simple as realizing we are not alone…
that someone else’s happiness is more important than our own.

There are those of us whose hearts and minds have joyfully come to see
it is life that can be complicated…
but love doesn’t have to be.
