So this is love...
Waking alone in my bed,
Several vacant drawers,
and one lonely toothbrush.
Icy cold hands,
With no one to warm them...
Idle phone receivers,
and an empty mailbox.
Everyday you're not here,
now more alone than ever...
So this is love?

It appears to be Love's tempest tossed aftermath. Sad.

Aw man

This is really sad. Everyone pictures the ultimate love being sunshine and cloudless days mixed with rose petals and all that other crap. I like your ending, Jenn. It's a question that leaves the door open to discussion.
This one is especially heartfelt from you and I can feel your sadness here. Thanks for the read and you keep your head up.

But what is love?? I know exactly what you are feeling, there is nothing worse than being totally in love and the object of your affection doesn't respond the same way. I have been in that senario for a year and a half now. He says the words but doesn't back them up with the actions.

Great read!! Thanks for sharing

As in any relationship it requires two people with the same desires...if any one is lacking those then we will find ourselves asking questions such as yours...love sucks sometimes...James
