What is love?
Love that is often confused with lust.
We think we love,
We think that it will never end,
But it will.

Love is stronger then anything,
It makes us think up is down,
It makes us think left is right.
It goes against logic.

Love never fades,
And when it leaves you,
You feel soulless.
When you truly love someone,
It's forever.

Lust is desire,
Desire for physical contact.
It is sweet,
It is beautiful,
But it will fade.

So what are you feeling right now?
Love, or lust?
