love? or something else?

When we claim its love we have for someone else, are we correct? think about it...

Are your palms sweaty,
is your heart racing and
your voice caught within your chest?
its not love,
its like.

You cant keep your eyes or hands off them,
its not love,
its lust

Are you proud or eager to show them off?
its not love,
its luck.

Do you want them because you know they are there?
it isnt love,
its loneliness.

Are you there because its what everyone wants?
expects?
it isnt love,
its low confidence.

Do you stay for their confessions of love,
or because you do not want to hurt them?
it isnt love,
its pity.

Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat?
it isnt love,
its  infatuation.

Do you pardon their faults because you care about them?
itisnt love,
its friendship.

Do yo tell them everyday,
how they are the only ones you ever think of?
its not love,
its a lie.

Are you willing to give all of your favourite things,
just for their sake?
it isnt love,
its charity.

Does your heart ache and break when they are sad?
Do you cry for their pain when they are strong?
Do their eyes see your true heart and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?
Do you stay because a blinding incomprehensible mix of pain
and relation pulls you close and holds you there?
Do you accept their faults because its part of who they are?
Are you attracted to others but stay with them faithfully without regrets?
Would you allow them to leave  you, not because they want to,
but because they have to? need to?
Would you give them your heart, your life and your death??
that then, is what we might call, true love!!
