What Is Love, Really? A Poetic Reflection on True vs. Toxic Love

Love is so un-avoiding

Everyone longs for it

People cross oceans just to experience it

Although it’s just chemical reaction

We were made to love from love

What if I very purpose was to love

And I think that is perfect

Here’s the thing

People love,  love

But do they know how to love

Do they know what love is?

Love is kind

Love is patient

Love is LOYAL

Love is NOT boastful

Love is who we are

Love is not gaslighting

Love is not stomping on someone

Technically you stomping on hearts

Love is not toxic

Love is not loving brokenly

Love can mend

But the right kind of love

Love can heal

But the right kind of love

Love can redeem

But the right kind of love

So, what is love?

Love is going the extra mile just because

Love is flowers just because

Love is dancing in the rain just because

Love is what makes the world go round and round

Love is comforting the widow

Love is high fiving the stranger

Love is hugs and kisses with your lover
