I don't know what love is.

I don't know
if it's a look,
a smile,
or a kiss.

But I know it's something
I want one day
forever.

When do you know
you love someone?

Do you just wake up
one day and figure it out
or is it a decision you make?

I don't know how
it suddenly happens
then sometimes fades with time.

Is it temporary
or eternal?

Does it have
an expiration date
and is there a way
to make it last longer?

Do you love a person
or how they make you feel
or both?

Is loving
being in love wrong?

Should a fluttering heart
warn you that it's not love,
but something more superficial?

Or is that
a sign of true love?

Is a quickened heartbeat
something I should hope for?

Can it ever be
completely selfless?

Is unconditional love
even possible?

I might be a hopeless romantic
but I draw the line there.

Humans are inherently
self-centered and hypercritical.

However,
I believe happily ever after
is a viable goal
but it's not easy to get there.
