This feeling...
Is it?
It must be.
The one I read about
In my favorite novels
The one that builds the theme
For all great movies.
The one.
Love.
Love is the one.
I'm warm
I'm light
I am eternity
With love, I can live.
But I wonder...
Why do they ask
"Would you die for the one you love?"
I can't answer that
With words.
To say no would mean
This feeling isn't real
And I don't love.
To say yes would mean
That I am not eternity
Because I can die for you.
I can end.
Therefore, I am not Love.
That question
A double edged sword
A trap to fall into
So how can I answer you,
And still love you?
Yes or no
I lose.
The right answer is yes
The wrong answer is yes
And so I answer
Murder me

Not what you thought it would be, eh? Alright, this was typed out just as I thought of it. No careful planning or format. And I think that shows, too, by how it's worded and spaced...right? Feedback is much appreciated ^-^
