Some may ask
"What is love?"
Well, I'm here to tell you
in as many ways as I can.
Love is like a flower.
You can see it,
feel it,
touch it.
You can watch
love grow
as you watch a flower
grow
You see it grow
by watching people
get closer to together
everyday
To a point where
they know each other so well
that they finish
each other's sentences
or thinks each other's thought.
You may think this sounds weird,
but when you love someone,
watch that person
and you'll see
You can feel it
in your heart
where love is strongest
You can touch it
when you touch
that person's heart
and know it's true
"Love is patient
love is kind"
There's so many ways
to show love
see love
feel love
touch love
and enjoy love,
but it's the hardest thing in the world
because love is the one thing
you can't predict
Nobody knows
when it'll show
if it'll leave
or stay
or hurt you
or care for you
But if you watch a flower grow,
then you can watch
love grow
because like a flower,
love grows from something small
A flower grows from a tiny seed
into this big, beautiful
flower that people love to see
"Love starts with a glance
grows with a kiss
and always ends in tears."
That's what Sawyer said about love
and I believe it
because nobody really knows what love is
but yet they see it everywhere
we all know it's there,
we just have to be patient.
Author notes
I hope this is what you were looking for. I had a million thoughts pop in my head and I wrote them down. I hope you like it. I got the idea from the picture that had a flower bud in this person's hands. I though that was a cool picture and I compared love to a single flower.

Very lovely thoughts about such a complex emotion. I know love being compared to a flower is a bit cliche, but I really think it's probably the best comparison ever.
Good luck in the contest!

the relationship blends to understanding anothers thought processes and assumptions
