Love
love is when a man loves a woman
or a woman loves a woman
or a man loves a man
you get the picture
but how do you know your in love with someone?
do they laugh at your jokes?
do they smile back at you when you look at them with your adoring eyes?
do they kiss you like its the last kiss they will ever get from you?
do they tell your freinds they love you, no matter how embarassed they might be?
are they honest with you?
do they avoid conflict for fear of hurting you?
do they look back to catch you watching them and giggle?
do they tell you they love you without you saying it first?
is silence awkward between you, or is it just nice having them around?
do you wake up thinking about them?
do you fall asleep and dream about them?
do you wish they were with you only a minute after they leave?
do you miss them?
if they were ill would you care for them, even if they had something contagious?
if they were going to die would you switch places with them?
would you do anything for them?
x love can hurt you and make you sick
x or it can make you feel happier then you ever felt in your whole life
xxxxxxxx love is a reason to live.

I was blushing when I was reading this because I actually do all of that to my boyfriend. He's sweet to me so yeah...
I really enjoyed this poem.
Love comes in all shapes and sizes.

Great poem, the flow was a little choppy at times, but other than that it's good.

aww many things here
all those expressions and the finish, love is a reason to live. nicely done, and i agree with you, love gives us many things and living is one of the most important.

you just about summed it up, to be honest! i'm liking the structure and style that you chose, it's almost interactive and it's something everyone can relate to. a very beautiful tribute to something that everybody needs.
love, (no pun intended!)

You have tried, as many poets and song writers have, to define the indefineable, LOVE. Though you have included all those things that we might use to tell what it is, love is actually, such an intangible thing that it is truly impossible. But this was a wonderful job telling us, questioning about it. And I love the opening stanza, and fully agree!!

ooh i like its like a tick sheet, but written out beautifully...couldnt help going through and seeing if my love adds up.
