poem ~ what is love

What is love? 
Is it to love each other,
Unless you become offended?

What is love? 
Is it to be patient,
Until you've run out of time?

What is love?
Is it to tell the truth even if it hurts,
Unless someone is going to get upset?

What is love?
Is it to keep my heart open,
Until I've been hurt so much that I'm black and blue? 

What is love?
Is it perfection,
Unless someone criticizes you?

What is love?
Is it to trust everyone fully, 
Until you've been lied to or is it still to trust?

What is love?
Is it to always have hope,
Unless you don't see the path ahead of you? 

What is love?
Is it to always choose love,
Or to pick and choose when to choose love?
