What Is Love To You?

Love can be the sweetest sound you've ever heard
or love can become a misused word.
Some find that love provides no satisfaction.
I believe love needs to be expressed
thru tender action.
Why must love be so elusive?
The pain of love so conclusive?
My sentiments remain easy to grasp.
When I feel love I want it to last.
"Don't say you love me
and then don't give me no lovin."
You told me you love me yet do you?
It's hard for a guy like me
to know when love is true.

Jameslee@July06,2001
"Don't say you love me
and don't give me no lovin."
is from the movie "Baby Boy"

Love is the meaning of life.  Now...  what is the meaning of life? ;->

Reading this made me think of the times I've thought I knew true love, only to realize I'd found heartbreak instead.   Very well written and thought-provoking.
