'What Is Love' Poem by Latedra Ellis

What is love?
Love.
Love is something special in life
It’s when you get those silly feelings
Like I’ll do anything crazy to be with that person, like sacrifice
It’s when you’re willing
Willing to be with that person every second of the day
And you’re hoping that everything between the two of you will remain okay
Love is a very strong word
There’s not many ways I can explain to you what love is
Wanna know why?
Because there’s too many definitions to define it
Other ways you can define it
Another way you can define true love is when you’ve been away from your love for so long that it actually feels like torture
If it feels that way with you then it really is true love
Love is something that makes you wonder
Who’ll you’ll be with in the future
Love makes your heart flip and turn
Love is the best thing that really could ever happen to you if you let it
But, I still ask that question over and over
“What is love? ”
Do you know?
