I See Love

I see love...
And I question it.
I see young people getting married,
And I wonder...
Is it real?
Or are these people settling too soon in life?
Thinking this is the best they will ever do.

I see love...
And I wonder.
I see older people finding each other after decades of being alone.
Have they one the right thing and waited all this time for the
one sure thing?
Or have they simply settled for what's there...
Realizing it's the best that will come anymore,
secretly sad and bitter that they passed up the real thing years ago.

I see love...
And I comtemplate it.
How can people "love" their cars
Their money
Their clothes

I see love all around.
How much of it is real?
How much of it is lust?
How much of it is just empty words...
Or lack of a better description?

I see love...
And I marvel at it.
The love of a family member.
The love of a mate.
The willingness to go to the ends of the earth for someone...
To die for someone.

I see love...
And I fear it.
What pain will come of it?
What words will be said that cut so deep?
What scars will be left?
What hard lessons learned?


I see love...
And I hope for it.
The exhilaration of hearing their voice.
The exstacy of feeling their embrace.
The knowing that you have found the one person that completes your life...
That fills the empty void that nothing else could.

I see love.

Skawt.
