What Is Love

Why do we look for love?  Is it because we
are in love with love?

Is it because love is the center of the world
that nourishes our being?

Is it because love is the key that opens the
door to our hearts?

Is it because we are only half a person and
we are looking for the other half?

Why do we look for love? Is it because 
we hang our sorrow and cares on its arms?

Is it because love smiles at us when we are asleep
but departs when we wake?

What is love? I for one believe love is 
something we cannot buy, yet we always 
pay for it in one way or another.

Love is different things for different people and we always search for it, even when we think we do not.. Well written Carlos...
