Such a broad question.
Should it be though?
Do people’s concept of love vary
so much that there isn’t one definition?
Universal ideals and thoughts.
Even a list of words to describe it.
Love is dependent on the individuals involved.
Parent towards a child.
The child for their parents.
The intimate love between two people.
Versus the love between two friends.
Or the love of something that does not love back.
An object of some significance.
Love of a pet and the pets “love” back.
The depth of love varies,
even among the various types.
One couples love of each other,
differs from the next.
The one thing love always is,
the immense pain it can cause
when it is broken.
Heartache and raw emotion from its loss.
Is that why we often
“don’t know what we have, until it’s gone”?
We don’t cherish it like we should,
when it’s around?
Love is great,
until it’s not.
What a way to end a poem! “Love is great// until it’s not” indeed. Nice poem.
