What Is Love

what is love
people grow apart anyway
what is love
when you don’t say the things you wanna say
what is love to you

what is love
when you live with none to anticipate
what is love
if you get by with lies that time creates
what is love to you

love to me is when it doesn’t matter
what or how you do it and you just care
about the here and now till then

love to me is joy and pain in one
a gamble a jumble a grave big mess
that i’ve come to learn to feel and to accept

do I really have to accept this mess?

tell me tell me

what is love
when all you have is hurt that duplicates
what is love
when you feel like you’ve got nothing more to give

love to me is when it doesn’t matter
what or how you do it and you just care
about the here and now till then

love to me is joy and pain in one
a gamble a jumble a grave big mess
that i’ve come to learn to feel and to accept

do I really have to accept this mess?

tell me tell me

but love to you is convenience
anything you’ll get
to mask the pain you feel
though you loved him once so true

but you are everything,
the world to me.
I’ve known love since February
1995 when you held me

i guess I will learn to accept this mess
