Love

Why

do we feel

love?


Do

we even

know

what loves is?


How

do we know

when

we’re in love?


Does

anyone

really know?


Songs

have been sung

about love

for thousands of years.


Stories,

poems,

books

and movies

flood our senses about

love.


We

are obsessed

about love.

We

are lonely

without it and confused

when in love.


There is love

for your parents,

love for your children

even

love for your pets.

But it’s romantic

love

that fogs up

our heads.


Why

do people fall out

of love?

Where they ever really

in love?


Is it

just about making babies,

survival of the species?

Is it

just about hormones

flushing through our systems

that riles us up?

Is it

just about companionship

for when we get

old?


How many times

have you asked

yourself

or been asked by

others,


how do

I know

when I’m in

love?

Some have said,

you’ll just know it

when you are.

Never really

understood that reply.

A better

answer

I think, if

you have to ask

you’re not in love.

Sorry ,

that’s the best

I can do,

it’s all up to you.
