How do you know?
By WhiteKnight

Is it lust, or is it love?
Do you need guidance from above?
If he makes you all hot and horny
It’s LOVE!
Isn’t that corny?

Love and sex are not the same
Even though both can cause pain
Love is more than a white t-shirt in the rain

Do you think of them night and day?
It might be love
When you see them do you want to play?
It might be love

Do they have a way
That just may say
You are the most special person every day?
It might be love

Do they make you all HOT?
It might be love
Though often it is not
Do they make you smile?
Just by acknowledging your there
Even if you in more than your underwear?
It might be love

Do you feel safe with them?
Do you know down to your bones
They would never hurt you
They would take a bullet for you?
Would you take one for them?
It might be love

Would you walk ten miles in the rain
On the chance you might see them again?
Is their opinion more important than anyone else’s?
Do you miss them when their gone?
Can you talk away the whole day with them?
Do you never bore of them?
Is it never a chore to see them?
It might be love

If you could spend a day with anyone
Would you pick them?
No sex allowed.
Who do you think of when you first wake up?
Who do you think of when you last close your eyes?
It could be love

Love can be all these things
it doesn’t have to be diamond rings
it doesn’t have to make you sing

love is not lust
love is trust
love is smiles
love is always being there
love is tears
love is fears
love is cheers
love is many things
it is so much more then a physical thing
love is being pushed on a swing

Love is something I can’t explain
Love is like a speeding train.
Love is looking in their eyes
And getting lost inside
Love is knowing their faults
But not caring
Love is sharing
Love is knowing you will not be judged
Love is when the thought of them makes you smile
Love is when your heart skips a beat
When they know you exist

Love is all these things and SO MUCH more
Love is NOT a chore.
Love is given freely from the heart
That’s where to start.

Love is tears on the keyboard
Knowing that it cannot be now
Love is hurting when you can’t reach their heart
Love is wanting to hold them close
Love is wanting to tell  them how you feel
Love is confusion
I can’t explain how to know
But I’ve tried to show
Love and lust are not the same

I hurt now
How?
I think of these things
I think of this ring
I think of the love that’s lost
I think of the cost

I think of what I had
What I felt
What I miss

Then the new,
I tell her my feelings
I write her the words
I try to show her the way
Yet, I can’t
She doesn’t see

How can I explain what love is
To one who’s never known it before?
How can she believe
I would give her ANYTHING
But she already has the important thing…
My heart.

I am fully aware
I may never gain her love
But for me
My love is a gift from above.
I would endure any hardship
Just to see that smile on her lips.

Hey There WhiteKnight! I liked this. I often wonder how I will know when it's really love and people tell me that I will just know. A heavy force will seem to hit me is what they say! Umm..I kind of think you should have posted it in the adult forum due to some of the words you used in the begining (horny, hot)The moderators might get on you for that? Good Poem!
