Love. . .
Four simple letters hold explosive power together.

Does it mean as much to you as to me?
Whispered in a tender moment is it still the same?
In the heat of battle does it mean something more?
Can you show me?

Said once too often when truly not meant,
It loses the shine and turns dark.
Can we polish it back to innocence again?
Can you show me?

When sent from my soul on the purest of wings,
How does it return to me aching and lost?
Such a small home for both joy and sorrow.
Love. . .

This one little word.
Do we understand it or just throw it around at will?
Can we feel its true beauty or just snatches of the light?
Can you show me. . .

Love?

We use the word all the time, but do we truly understand it?
