If my first

“_Love_”

Taught me anything,

It’s that

“_Love_”

Is not just

Another walk

In the park.

“_Love_”

Is complicated,

Like a puzzle,

There’s so many

Pieces

That have to

Fit together

Perfectly

For it to look

_Complete_.

“_Love_”

Is wild,

Like an animal,

You’ve gotta care for it enough

To make it

Trust in you,

To make it

Less likely to

Hurt you later.

“_Love_”

Is unpredictable,

Like the ocean,

You never know

When the waves will come

And wash away

All you worked

To build.

“_Love_”

Is _sickening_,

Like a disease,

It infects you,

It destroys you,

And sometimes

You don’t realize that

_Until it’s_

_Too damn late_.

_But…_

“_Love_”

Can also be beautiful,

Like a bright

Wildflower,

With colors so vibrant,

With petals so dewy,

Light can find its way

To us.

“_Love_”

Is warm,

Like a mother’s embrace,

Holding you tight,

Being your light,

Making your heart race.

“_Love_”

Is not just

Another walk

In the park,

But it can be a light

When life seems dark.

A light

In your world,

A light

In your life,

“_Love_” can be bright

And get you through the strife.
