It's not love it's attraction

It's not love it's codependency

It's not love it's ease of access

It's not love it's hormones

It's not love it's loneliness

It's not love it's care

It's not love it's trauma bonding

It's not love it's deflection

It's not love it's delusion

It's not love it's the sex

It's not love it's friendship

It's not love, its anxious attachment

It's not love it's faith

It's not love it's hope

It's not love it's peace

It's not love it's safety

It's not love it's belonging

It's not love it's convenience 

It's not love it's wild courage

 

It doesn't look like love

It's all in your mind

But still, It's not love, If it's not 

Atleast a few of those, combined

 

So what's love?

The sound when your heart shatters 

A puzzle

Just the combination matters...

    I don't care what anyone says, this is a work of art. Often I find that the answer to the question "What is love?" is dependent on the one asking, as it's not correct in that sense. Love is many things, and personally I feel that your bold way of pointing it out is a courageous and lovely addition to the infinite questions and answers that come along when love is involved. Also, quite unique, bonus points. Very much enjoyed the read.

      Love is patient, love is kind. It doesn't envy, it doesn't boast, it is not proud. It doesn't dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs.
      Love doesn't delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
