Selfishness

Selfishness

A Poem by Jake Hinkle
"

A short poem I think, not really sure what to call it.

"
Who created the word love? 
Was it a man or woman? 
How did it get it's meaning? 
Were they describing what they felt for something or someone. 
Or were they trying to receive more insight on what it exactly was they wanted to feel or find for something or someone. 
I don't know the answers to these questions, so I guess the ocean I am swimming in is for a new word for how I feel. 
What I do know is what I feel no one has ever or will ever feel the way I feel about you. 
But I'm selfish so I don't want to create a word and give it a definition because I don't want anyone to achieve this feeling or blatantly lie about it to hurt someones feelings. 
I have a right to this feeling I share with you.

I can assure yo the word love was invented by a woman. It's all they write about. :)
