I think this song is very appropriate for this poem. I mean come on it is literally in the title!


What is love?


I mean,

What.

Is.

Love?


What does it mean

to be

in love?


Sure there's motherly love

and fatherly love-

don't forget sibling love and

friendly love-

but what does it mean to

love-love someone?


Someone who

isn't related to you,

who is special to you,

who makes you smile,

laugh, cry, angry, annoyed-

all types of emotions-

but in the end of the day makes you feel

...better?


Safe?

Content?

Beautiful?


What does it mean

to be in love?


No seriously,

I've never been before

and I'd like to know.


The only knowledge I have on the subject

are books, movies, and TV shows.


Sure,

I see "love" between my friends parents

and my father and stepmom,

but honestly it's all a mess.


For the first few months of their marriage,
