What is Love Revisited

I once asked, what is love?

I’m still asking and wondering

What is it really?

Will I ever really ever know?

 

There are many forms

I have come to discover

To give that love to others

And have it returned in kind

 

Maybe not in the way

You may want it

But it is love just the same

It is there, for all to see

 

I have come to realize

That I do have love

It is all around me and I have failed

To see it for what it is

 

I may not have an exclusive love in my life

To call my own

But I am loved

By the ones that really matter the most.

Everyone is loved by someone, even the most foul of people.

You are amazing, you are beautiful,. you are a great writer, and you are loved by many(myself included).

Its strange, this revelation, we all have it once in our life, that THAT love isnt THE ONLY love, and that we should be happy with what we have. We can only hope for more and pray that it finds us or we stumble upon it. Ihave found that searching leads you in the wrong direction...

ITs hard to deal with lonliness but false love is harder to recover from.

Its like Dorothy at the end of the Wizard of Oz, she looked all over just to find that "home is where the heart is". She was happy with the people who loved her, she need not look elsewere for anything, because she had a HOME she had LOVE.

This is a beautiful write from a beautiful person:)

Your right you have love all around you love from friends and family.Love is uncondtional,no matter what you say or do weather you are rich or have no money. Love is were you don't have to be afraid to talk to that person about anything cause whatever may be said your not judged.some times people as well as me have reliezed theres true love and theres infatuation about someone there kinda close in some ways. your write is wonderful thank you for sharing with me.

Love is there or not .. is just a state of one's mind.. how good or bad it is.

Life itself is just a matter of mind, how it sees.

bravo

Amanda,

This is lovely.
Something we all need to hear.
Love isn't only in a one on one relationship,
it's all around us. It's here online..
if one chooses to find and give it.
But most of all, it resides within.
Once that is recognized and felt,
love is very easy to spot ... and it seems to
find us just as effortlessly.

I love this message.
And I appreciate you for sharing it.
You're such a loving and kind soul.

Thank you my friend :)

Tis true. Maybe it is in the air in some way and we just have to be receptive to it. I like the thoughtfulness and wisdom of the poem.

Lovely poem that's almost like a song! Full of philosophical thoughts. The flow of this poem is almost like a trail of thought, or a little stream; meandering. A very sweet and delicate poem. And I loved the ending. It was the perfect way to end it! A lovely poem, thank you for sharing it!

Very poetic, hard to relate since I never experiance any real true form of love. That includes mother bonding and stuff. I really like this one though, I can relate with wanting love, just harder to see it everywhere. I am a compassionate person, but I have to watch my back, to many knives been placed in it.

Very well writen, very well expressed. Good job.

Love is surely a complex feel and we keep on experiencing about it's different forms with the passage of our life.
"I may not have an exclusive love in my life
To call my own
But I am loved
By the ones that really matter the most."- And you know, This is what life is all about...Really, very true and so beautifully written..

To love someone is nothing, Being loved by some is something. But to love and be loved by someone ...is everything! :)
