What Is Love All About

WHAT IS LOVE ALL ABOUT

inquiring minds want to know
what is love all about
what does love mean 
what is the definition of love
love is such an easy word to say 
so many people have no idea what love is all about

when a woman says she loves you 
does she mean she loves what you have
does she want what you possess
does she believe you owe her her dreams
does she really love you for you

when a man says he love you
does he mean he loves the way you look
does he want to be sexually satisfied
does he enjoy your cooking
does he really love you for you

if love were so binding then divorce would not happen
perhaps love has nothing to do with marriage
does divorce happen when you get to know your mate
why do people come apart 
was love in their heart from the start

ask yourself do I love her because she loves me
or do I love her because I love her

or do  people really believe in the marriage vows that they say
on that special day

I don’t have the answers I only ask the question
