What is love?
is it something that really exists
and you can believe
it to last forever?
I really hope so.
I want that,
Someone to tell me how much i matter to them.
What would you do if it didn't exist?
Would you just keep living and be alone
for the remainder of time
You have left to breathe on earth?
I see no excitement
in a life like that,
without love there really is
nothing to look forward to.

I want this to help people think about love. Love clearly doesn't mean anything like it used to. People say it all the time without thought. I would like more people to realize how important love is.
