What happens to love,
when one gives too much?
Does it get spoil like a little child?
Or does it wither away like a flower with too much water?
Does it drown in deep oceans when the storms arrive?
What happens to love,
when you're not around?
Does it miss you on cold nights?
Or does it lies in a deathbed waiting for you to respond?

Yes, I believe "love" is an action word quite aside from a feeling or desire.

If I had the answer to that I would hang my shingle, and no doubt be the the most in demand advisor inthe world. Alas I do not,nor know I any who do.
