What Is Love

Not what I thought, perhaps,
Or maybe less than I expected. 
There are more unfulfilled wishes-dreams-wants
Than I'd hoped for. 

Is my tearlessness tribute
Or betrayal?
I cannot tell,
Won't ask. 

What else could memories of you become 
But nightmare fodder?

I get where you are coming from. I think love is an emotion maybe a moment or a few special moments with someone who means a lot to you. You should try and hang onto those moments.
