What is love,

I wonder,

But then I realise

That the answer has

Always been right

In front of me.


Love is the second chance

That is given a thousand times

For the very, same mistake -

A mistake that should have

Never been repeated.


Love is the chance

That is abused

But still forgiven.


Love is disappointment

But just a simpler more

Common way of saying it.


And love is the one thing

That triumphs over

All logical reason 1


I find that love is also

The very reason I still

Wake you up and help you

To bed so that you

Do not hurt your back.


Love is what gives me

Patience to deal with your shit

Every day

And when someone

Asks about you,

I smile and tell them the truth -

That I still loved you,

Despite everything,

And that nothing

Can ever change

My mind about that.
