If I Were To Write A Poem

If someone were to ask me about Love what would I say?

 

If someone were to ask me about Love who would be the first person brought to mind?

 

My Mother? My Father? My Brothers? My Sisters? Who would it be?

 

I do love all of them but do I love them because of who they are or do I love them because of what they are?

 

I do love them but the love I have for my mother isn't the same love I have for my brothers, So is that really Love?

 

If someone were to ask me to define love how would I? 

 

Trick question. Love is subjective and is forever changing.

 

You can love multiple people at once but can you call it true love if everyone isn't loved equally?

 

You can love your father more than your mother one day because he gave you money to hang out with your friends.

 

You can love your mother more than your father the next day because she made your favorite meal.

 

Love is forever changing so can there be a true way to define it?

 

Of course not, you define Love the way you see Love through your eyes.

 

So if someone were to ask me to define Love what would I say?

 

Well for me Love is me staring at the ceiling at 4am wishing there was a way for me to go back in time and stop myself from sending that message. 

 

Love for me is scrolling through my hidden pictures wishing I could take one more with her.

 

Love is me praying that one day she’ll forgive me.

 

Love for me is changing to be a better person because I hate the way I treated her.

 

Love for me is thinking about what could've been If I wasn't such a coward and was able to let go of the things that were hurting us… Hurting her.

 

If you were to ask me about Love a year ago I’d probably would've given you a half baked answer.

 

But If you were to ask me about Love today, I’d say her name. 

 

Because to me she is the embodiment of Love.

 

Looking back at it I was to blind to see that all she wanted was to Love me but I was too busy loving everything else.

 

Now she moved onto loving everything else while I'm too busy loving her.
