About Love

Too much has been written about love
for me to contribute anything,
in just a few lines.
But for the love of it
I shall try: When you think
that you are in love: Think again!

Love is for everybody,
not just for the deserving.

People have true love
if they search their heart.

Love is hard to find,
especially when you are looking for it.
After you found it, you sometimes forget
what you were looking for.

Sometimes it is there,
and you're not.
And when you finally see it,
it has left in despair.


What Is Love?

They say love is blind.
It's not true;
only people are!
