What is love?

How can I want 
What I don’t know
Or do I not know it
But can feel it

I have spent years
trying to describe love,
what is it?

I can use a thousand words
to describe just one word
Maybe it was not meant
To be described
But to be felt

You can feel love
Feel loved
Show love

Even the other person can see it
But not necessarily feel it

They may use it against you,
To make mockery of you 
But those who feel it 
Will love you back

It’s incredibly rare
For someone to love you
And you love them back

But extremely easy
To think you love someone 
And they love you back

You start to realise,

when what first attracted you
is no longer there,

and both still stay,

then
that is love.
