Remember Love

Remember my child
that love is a gamble
and not a game...
there are risks to be taken
and feelings at stake.

Remember that love
is not a mere word:
it's a verb.
Act what you feel
and do it with zeal.

Remember that in loving
conditions must not be set.
However make sure
that expectations are met.

Remember that to love
does not mean
you'll be loved back,
but don't stop loving
just because of that.

And yes, 
remember love
wherever you go-
for without love
you will not be so.
