Love

There are five different types of love-

Romantic love, 

Friendship love, 

Familial love, 

Unconditional love, 

Finally, self-love.

 

Love is a complicated concept, 

I don\'t quite understand.

There are two loves I\'m familiar with, 

Friendship and Unconditional.

I have love for my friends, 

That turns into unconditional love.

 

I\'m not as familiar with the rest.

Romance, 

Family, 

Self-love...

They are hard to come by.

Someday, I\'ll experience them.

 

I long for romantic love.

I need to work on self-love, 

Before I can share love with someone else.

Romantic love- 

A strange, alluring mystery.

 

It\'s different from having a crush.

Yet I feel romance to be 

Emotionally taxing.

In relationships, 

You play the 50/50 game.

\"There\'s plenty of fish in the sea.\"

 

So they say.

Many years of dating, 

That turns into marriage.

How admirable, 

An ideal custom.

Yet, I yearn for romance.

 

It seems worth it.

Some grew up with familial love, 

Some did not.

I won\'t understand this, 

Until I have a child.

And so I return to where I began- 

Love is no less complicated, 

But maybe that\'s what makes it real.
