Love.
What is love.

I look around and see kids say to their mothers,"I love you"
I turn to my mother and say,"I love you"

But I feel nothing.
What am I supposed to feel when I say those words?
A shoot of hope and joy through my heart?
A desire to hug you forever?
To want to rule the world and give it to you as a gift?

If it is, then I don't feel love...
Am I a horrible person if I can't feel love?
Am I not normal like everyone else in this world?
Am I a person who can't feel feelings?
What am I?

Love. What an interesting word
I look it up in the dictionary and the definition pops up;
An intense feeling of deep affection
Or
A great interest and pleasure in something

Is that love?
Even though that is the definition. Is that truly love?
If so, I don't think if can feel love.

Am I somehow messed up?
Am I somehow disabled?
Am I somehow broken?
What am I without love?

What am I without love.... in my life?
