What Is Love?

what is love?
what does it mean?
is it a turtle dove, 
or a beautiful summer scene?
 why do we have it?
what is it for?
desires always lit,
 do we ned more?
 love isn't always there, 
but it could be awful, 
because it's not always fair , 
and you should always be careful
love is for everyone,
including you,
you don't have to love anyone,
because you have to
so if you need love, 
look everywhere, 
even look above, 
because there's somebody out there

There is love out there and sometimes it's unexpected. All anyone needs to do is wait and it will happen. Janet
