Love is not

Love is not

Love is not
Never having to say you’re sorry

Love is not
the adolescent adoration of beauty

Love is not
Seduction except as a game of lovers.

Love is not
The consuming passion of sex ---
Though love can make that complete.

Love is not
Pain
Though the connections of love may leave you open
To more pain

Love is not
Destiny
The bloody blades of Capulet’s and Montague’s notwithstanding.

Love is not
Fear --
It can drag fear along because
Love is not
Always forever.

Love is not
Always properly balanced,
It contains the price of possible loss.

Love is not
Ended with loss it is only a part of the cost.

Love is not
Free
It is the ultimate price. we pay to be in the game,
Ultimately the only one that matters.
