Real love???
What is real love anyways???
Society and culture tells us that real love is having sex and getting drunk with each other at parties.
I think real love is lying in the grass and looking at the stars together.
Real love is holding hands in front of everyone.
Real love is calling each other up just to talk.
Real love is hugging each other from behind in front of your friends.
Real love is cuddling up on the couch and watching a movie.
Real love is going over to the others house to comfort when they are sick.
Real love is going through all the fights and challenges and still loving each other.
This is what real love is.

What is the difference between real love and what society and culture has twisted into love. Sometime it's hard to tell.

Very ture. Love is partly like that and so much more. Your poem has a wonderful mesage and it's amzingly written. If you don't mind reading the Bible, in the Book of 1 Corinthians 13:4 - 8, you can read about love in it, or the whole chapter. The verses in the Bible, I think pretty, almost sums what love truly is. I'm not saying you have to, you don't have to do it. Anyways, your poem is amazing; you have a talent. Thank you for sharing this
