What Is Love- Changes

Love changes in each and every season
In the beginning you'll feel butterflies
You crave them, without specific reason
In this phase you find comfort in their eyes


As time goes by, your love will be tested
You will notice imperfections and flaws
One questions if they should stay invested
And look for a get out of courtship clause

If you have managed to stay in spite of
you're in a lovely season, love took root
A strong, solid relationship will gov
Haters won't have the chance to pollute

 Love is not just a feeling it's a decision
Once I got this,didn't have tunnel vision

I like the stages of love. My husband and I go through these stages on a regular basis. It is the only way to "do it" so we can stay together, and stage one is the best. We always look forward to it, Alexis. Good luck in the contest.

Love:An endless ocean of emotions that often produces storms that the heart has difficulties to handle but when it is calm bliss fills the soul dearest. Alexis! A worthy Sonnet! Good luck my friend!
