The Meaning of Love

Love is a word with many different meaning,
And many different feelings.

It can make you happy but at the same time,
it could leave your heart aching.

Now your heart is broken and it's hard to keep,
life in motion.

Can't hold your head up high now suicide is,
your only option.

But before you take that leap open your eyes,
and take this portion.

Please take this advice that I'm giving you because,
it's a different between love and seduction.

Listen carefully because anybody could be romantic,
on that first introduction.

You may think that person is nice but that same person,
have hidden intention.

They will say things that you want to hear.

Whisper in your ear just to take away your fears.

But deep down in your heart you know all that,
person is doing is making you shed tears.

Wake up and open your eyes before it's too late.

I'm just trying to save you the heart ache.

So look for love the right way look for some one,
who will love you for you and not what you have to gave.

Look for some one who will build you up and,
not lead you a stray.

Don't rush love because love is a beautiful thing,
you should never have to pay.

These are golden thoughts, my friend, and he who feels it knows it, but not without the bravery of your heart to teach when the subject tears our sense apart. You are indeed an intellect, bravo
