Love is......

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails" 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 It is the first thing we ever truly feel Yet we wonder if it's really real Searching for something true Just someone who means it when they say "I love you" The concept of love has morphed over the years Changed by insecurities and fears Selfishness, conditions and the need for a title Why can't it be simply as it is in the bible Your love can abuse you Say sweet things to use you Say and act like they'll always be there When in reality they never did care How can you love someone and cause them pain Using something so precious, in vain Covering up with being human as an excuse Yea we fall short, to lean on that, I refuse To simply try to understand someone won't cost a thing Being kind to people can easily lessen life's sting Care for the sake of caring takes no energy Honestly its more stressful making someone your enemy The relationship between the two people doesn't matter Friends, family, kindred spirits, we eat from the same platter Everyone was once a stranger so why not get along Is just being a decent human being so wrong? So, if only a little bit, why not open your heart Even if you're just kind to everyone, it's a start Imagine what kind of peace we could achieve Love never fails, this is what I believe
